YES. It is used for sipx. A bad or expired internal certificate will keep
services from starting. The external certificate you installed is to remove
the "not a valid "real" certificate browser nag.

I think that needs a wiki article. You also need to make sure you have
a _sip._tls DNS SRV record pointing to the port (default) 5061 and that your
firewall (if the peer is across the internet) allows and nat's it. I've been
meaning to get a tracker on DNS, going forward sipx needs to generate that
record by default and probably an A record for the domain (judging by logs
getting cut in the proxy in the dev version).

You use the self assigned cert in the TLS.
