ok. let's fix that.

yes please. thank you!

i guess so. i cannot say for sure as i do not know how the syntax
above would affect uri:s in the REGISTER message.

why is not an SRV lookup being done first for the proxyhost and if no
answer received than do an A lookup for proxyhost (as explained in
rfc3263)?

would that affect register => ?

[ i was thinking of registering asterisk with a provider through which
i will be able to receive incoming calls from the pstn].

what is causing problems (at least for me) is that domain and
proxyhost are treated as same things. for instance, when i am
transfering call thru a sip extenstion it is sending INVITEs with the
uri sip:user at proxyhost to the host proxyhost instad of uri
sip:user at domain to the host proxyhost. let's just make sure that the
meaning of domain and proxyhost are well understood in the sip context
and are treated right.
