When you setup sipx, the most reliable way to configure it is: sipdomain.tld and hostname.sipdomain.tld as two different values.
when a phone registers it should register to "[email protected]" Ultimately it DOES NOT MATTER where DHCP and DNS come from, so long as it is accurate and works without delays. For best performance on a single system and if there are no network reasons "not to", you are best off to let sipx handle both services or contains sipx services on its own vlan so it doesn't interfere. I normally use a subdomain for sipx services, but not always, and that's "my" way of doing it. If the phone is registering to the hostname, the phone MWI is to the domain name and its not answering the challenge for MWI subscription BECAUSE the subscriber IS [email protected], NOT [email protected]. The reality is all of this is a big exhale... it's all in the wiki. While there are numerous threads, they all point back to the same issue. DNS. This is how I would do i if I were you, but I am not you (since people tire of my "if it were me..."). I do this the same each and every time. I never have registration issues. I never have MWI issues and I never have issues calling inside to other subscribers.
