The OOB mechanism that I referred is about pre-populating a database in the Registrar. It is not a "signaling protocol" that does anything similar to SIP. We still need log on/off behavior and the intent is to use REGISTER for that. What is non-standard about using REGISTER the way I've described it? I don't think I'm bending the semantics of it. Is it carrying a domain name in the Contact URI that is of concern? Even though we've a "closed" system, we don't want to do non-standard things. My Registrar/Proxy is the one that dereferences the Contact URI that came in the REGISTER. What's wrong in saying that, well I'm going to dip into my database to resolve that domain instead of issuing a DNS query. -- Raj _______________________________________________ Sip-implementors mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/sip-implementors
