No, I'm afraid you misunderstand. This has nothing to do with DNS and  
not being able to reach my second PBX -- that's all fine. The  
hostname, sip.provider.com, is fictitious anyway.

The problem is how to configure the client entry in the second PBX's  
sip.conf so that the first PBX can use it without having to change  
anything (other than the hostname). As things stand, I can already do  
it, but only if I first remove the "fromuser" and "secret" options  
from the sip.conf of the first PBX: that's going too far.

Eventually, I hope to use the new information to expand this article:

    * Asterisk: minimal SIP configuration
      http://www.rjsystems.nl/en/2100-asterisk.php

The text would start with: "If a second Asterisk server is used to  
simulate the connection to the commercial SIP provider, add this  
stanza to its sip.conf ..."

Thanks anyway,

Jaap
