[Serusers] DNS SRV lookup issue

[Zeus Ng]

Are you absolutely sure the contact address is stored as user at testdomain.com
and not user at some.ip.address in the location table? I'm sure t_relay() will
do SRV lookup, with one condition. The URI should be in the form
sip:user at testdomain.com, with no port specified. If the URI does have the
port included like sip:user at testdomain.com:5060, then SER will not do SRV
lookup.

Most UAs I saw use IP address in contact header and that means no SRV
lookup. Better check yours with serctl ul show.

You can verify the SRV lookup with the following script.

loadmodule "/usr/local/lib/ser/modules/tm.so"

route{
        rewritehost("stupid.domain");
        t_relay();
}

The ethereal output will show SRV lookup.
