Kevin,

  This sounds great.  Thanks!  Hopefully SRV will be more usable now.

  Does chan_sip still not use DNS Manager?  While I am glad that
chan_sip will have better support for SRV I am worried that the
overall DNS support in chan_sip still isn't that great...

  I'll test this in the next couple of days and reply back.

  Thanks again!
