[Asterisk-Users] SRV Lookups

Anyone know when Asterisk is going to properly support DNS SRV Lookups?

We have Asterisk, OpenSER and Polycom phones here. The Polycom phones seem to have about the best implementation. They at least try a second system (round-robin based on equal weights is flaky tho) if the first doesn't respond unlike Asterisk and OpenSER. 

It's kinda hard to build a REDUNDANT VOIP network when more than 2/3 of it doesn't support SRV lookups! This also means you have to use IP addresses and hostnames a lot of the time, which makes routing a mess. Yuck!

Doug.
