Summary:                    strange documentation of tlsbindaddr in sip.conf
Description: 
sipc.conf.sample cotains:

;tlsenable=no                   ; Enable server for incoming TLS (secure)
connections (default is no)
;tlsbindaddr=0.0.0.0            ; IP address for TLS server to bind to
(0.0.0.0) binds to all interfaces)
                                ; Optionally add a port number,
192.168.1.1:5063 (default is port 5061)
                                ; Remember that the DNS entry for the
common name (server name) in the
                                ; certificate must point to the IP address
you bind to,
                                ; so you don't want to bind a TLS socket
to multiple IP addresses.

The part starting with "Remember that the DNS ..." is not correct
(multiple IP addresses serving the same domain (e.g. mutliple A records)
work well) and IMO it is very confusing. IMO a better text would be: "For
details how to construct a certificate for SIP see
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sip-domain-certs"
