Description spacewar 2006-02-11 07:45:44 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
It is common practice for the SIP server for a domain to be specified by an SRV
DNS record for that domain.  For instance, the SIP server for user@example.com
may be on host sip.example.com.  There might not even be an A record for
example.com, but if there is, it may not point to the host running the SIP server.

DNS SRV records are described in RFC 2782, and their use for SIP is specified in
RFC 3263 section 4.2.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Attempt to establish a SIP call to a URL using a hostname for which there is
a suitable SRV vecord, but no A record.


Actual results:
Call fails

Expected results:
Call should succeed.  Ekiga should do the SRV record lookup as per RFC 3263
section 4.2.

Does this happen every time?
Yes
