It's my understanding sipXconfig cannot assume DNS is running since
sipXconfig is supposed to configure DNS...

What if sipXconfig had a option "use DNS" and require either IP address
provided or DNS configured?

Finally - trying to prompt some angry responses by asking stupid questions
- why do services need IP address in their configuration. Shouldn't
services use DNS?
