Domains and DNS matter...

You can use aliases to receive calls fine but as a general practice I've
always done user auth through the SIP domain.  Planning out an installation
and thinking about DNS name space inside and outside your network in my
experience will always provide a better result.  Taking shortcuts is taking
shortcuts.

Some people try to fake out the system and use it as a multi-tenant
platform...  it is not a multi-tenant platform.

Aliases were put into the system initially not for authentication purposes
but to simply be able to receive calls.  Then somebody decided to make
authentication work for a few odd devices that don't support SRV records
and for remote users in situations where the admin hadn't fully thought out
their DNS domains.  Looks like when the authentication piece was added
later that it was not fully integrated throughout.
