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.
