Hi all,

Regarding System -> Servers "Add Server", we have this JIRA:

   XCF-2925: add button to resolve hostnames to IP addresses when adding
new server

Which came from this thread:

   http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.voip.sipx.devel/13011

Adding a new button seems a little complicated, so I'd like to suggest
an alternative.

Keep all the existing settings, and don't add any new ones.  If the IP
Address is entered by the user, then sipXconfig should behave just as it
does now. 

If the IP Address is left blank, then sipXconfig will do a DNS lookup
when you click OK or Apply.  In most cases the DNS lookup will succeed
and return exactly one IP address, which sipXconfig will use as if it
was entered by the user.

If the DNS lookup fails or returns more than one IP Address, then
sipXconfig should give an error message to the user.  If the hostname
was indeed entered correctly, then the user will have to manually enter
the IP Address (or wait for DNS to start working again.)

The IP Address help text should read something like: "Leave blank to
have sipXconfig determine the IP Address of this server."  Maybe also
move this setting down below Password?

Thoughts?
