Hi Olle!
That's very cool.

So the note about the issue with SRV-records in the sample sip.conf for 
asterisk 1.8 about SRV records will actually be invalidated and 
implemented correctly?

"srvlookup=yes
; Enable DNS SRV lookups on outbound calls
; Note: Asterisk only uses the first host
; in SRV records"

That renders the question - would this be considered to go into released 
branches 1.8 and forward, considered a bugfix, or not?

I've disabled srvlookup in my current installations as it did more harm 
than good. Either way - thanks for working on this!
