[Users] question about adding users

[Klaus Darilion]

Hi!

Some basic: SIP URIs are similar to email addresses (mailto URIs). they 
consist of a userpart and a domain. Just imagine the email address 
"mailto:klaus". That want work. Using only usernames without domains it 
will be impossible to call users outside you domain.

As SIP was built with the idea to contact any SIP user in the world (not 
only the SIP users REGISTERed to your SIP proxy), there is a need for 
the domain.

Also I recommend to enable the multi domain mode:
modparam("auth_db|usrloc", "use_domain", 1)

then it is possible to hast different domains on your SIP proxy. (Just 
like apache is hosting virtual domains/home pages).

regards
klaus
