The only reason I stated to use a subdomain was as follows: 1. I didn't want to change to Openfire for my already "in-place" IM system. I prefer google for IM for too many personal reasons, and Pidgin or Spark and Openfire don;t give me the flexibility without additional resources and setup to make chat available from email via browser, for example. 2. I don't necessarily want everyone who I IM with to know my phone presence. Either you allow it "globally" or you don't. 3. It makes my DNS zone for sipx "basic. There is no need to set my named.conf to a "manual" mode since it won't have ANY other records in my zone other than what sipx generates on its own. I simply create a forward ZONE on sipx to my "main" domain, and vice versa. I feel like it is less problematic from an upgrade and maintenance perspective.
BUT, once you establish something like SIP or XMPP for your entity, changing the SIPDOMAIN or anything else down the road is much more problematic, so you are doing the right thing to ask first...
