The line should:

_xmpp-server._tcp*.<domain-name.tld>.* IN      SRV     1  0 5269
rwheadoffice.qantom.in.

I think: When it ends with ONE dot it means this is all the data there is,
when it ends with two, it simply <means this domain>. Like CNAME records,
SRV records end with one dot, and include the domain name (as a literal),
when ending it should include the domain name.

This output is a normal DNS output, and is not generated by any sipxscript,
so I'm not sure there is anything to fix.

Comments?
