I don't think anybody said that... I just don't think anybody has specific information about that product...
I'd say that if you can setup SRV records in tinyDNS then it can definitely be use with sipXecs.

So - the upshot as I am able to discern it is I really can't use tinyDNS with sipX?

I found the explanation at http://sipx-wiki.calivia.com/index.php/DNS_Configuration helped out A LOT. At our location, the sipXecs server is the only machine not running Windows. Trying to extrapolate the information found at http://sipx-wiki.calivia.com/index.php/DNS_Configuration and converting that into something that makes sense in the Windows world was a bit of a challenge, but I did finally get it working. I would recommend that if you continue to have problems with DNS, that you consider using BIND (the DNS Server that sipXecs natively supports) that is part of the sipXecs Installation Single CD. The reason I say that is because I found out after that fact that Windows DNS services do not support these kind of entries: example.com. IN NAPTR 2 0 "s" "SIP+D2T" "" _sip._tcp.example.com. example.com. IN NAPTR 2 0 "s" "SIP+D2U" "" _sip._udp.example.com. . . .whereas BIND does. IRT your question "does the sipx server have a TFTP server in it" the answer is YES. The full path to the sipXecs TFTP root is /var/sipxdata/configserver/phone/profile/tftproot . See your original quoted E-Mail below for the rest. . .

I have a server loaded from the live CD, it is running fine, and I am able to talk to it through the web interface. I have some Linksys SPA941's that I would like to test it with, and some SNOM 320's on the way, too. I have some questions about how to set up my network with sipx. The DNS adviser complains about a lot of records that I do not have in my DNS server. I am using a pfsense firewall and it uses tinydns. Does anyone have any experience configuring this? Also - does the sipx server have a TFTP server in it, See my comment above. . . does the system use one, and can I use the one that is already on the network? Yes you can. Please see http://sipx-wiki.calivia.com/index.php/DHCP_Configuration for more information. Please note in the example below. . . option tftp-server-name "your sipxpbx hostname"; . . .that you would need to replace sipxpbx with the hostname of your existing TFTP server. Also note that if you do not use the TFTP server on the sipXecs box, you will probably have to place the phone configuration and/or firmware files on your non-sipX TFTP server manually, which in my opinion would be more trouble than it's worth. sipXecs has some awesome phone configuration features built in to it. If you decide to use a different TFTP server, I'm thinking that you will cancel those out unless you use something like RSYNC to somehow synchronize /var/sipxdata/configserver/phone/profile/tftproot with the TFTP root of your other server (my two cents). Is there a spiX for dummies anywhere? I have found the sipXecs Wiki to be an invaluable resource! Make sure to check it out. . . http://sipx-wiki.calivia.com/index.php/Main_Page I have been following this list for a number of days now, and it would appear that most of you all already have a system up and running and know what you are doing. Thanks! Mark
