Right, external users on a foreign internet connection do not require SRV records or any special DNS.
We never deploy SRV records with external phones and have at least 200 remote users across our client base using it with out issue. If you follow the wiki, for a remote phone you edit the "line" and change the outbound proxy from "domain name" to the external NATTED IP address of the PBX. Polycoms and yealinks work function just fine. They send all sip messages to the outbound proxy regardless of DNS. This is how remote worker was designed to be...non-DNS dependant. However this is a little different that Nathaniels scenario. -m >>> Tony Graziano <[email protected]> 03/19/12 6:37 PM >>> Are you suggesting remote/external users on a foreign internet connection do no use SRV records?

What benefit is there in having external SRV records? I'm just wondering what your use case is. SRV records are not used for remote workers. The only case I could see would be if sipx had an external ip (no nat) and so the typical remote worker setup wouldnt work. We have a DNS cluster in your datacenter and could host it if there’s a benefit. -m _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users/ -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tony Graziano, Manager Telephone: 434.984.8430 sip: [email protected] Fax: 434.465.6833 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Linked-In Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/tony-graziano/14/4a6/7a4 Ask about our Internet Fax services! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LAN/Telephony/Security and Control Systems Helpdesk: Telephone: 434.984.8426 sip: [email protected] Helpdesk Customers: http://myhelp.myitdepartment.net Blog: http://blog.myitdepartment.net
