yes, the one more dns name is to register the component.

yes, what lacks now in "server" mode of the xmpp module is SRV support 
(just needs to reuse some code from core) and TLS. Once these are in 
place the server mode should be fully functional.

The module is quite young, but I think the design is much better from 
scalability point of view. ALso, the address mapping should be made more 
flexible, to allow the usage on DNS or other types of translation (as we 
do today).
