You're right, it did just take some time. That must be because I opted to 
update the database asynchronously. However, your comment of why the 
domain isn't inserted befuddles me, as my domain was inserted:

mysql> select username, domain, contact from aliases;
+----------+-------------+----------------------+
| username | domain      | contact              |
+----------+-------------+----------------------+
| 12347777 | altcall.com | sip:nick at altcall.com |
| 12347778 | altcall.com | sip:nick at altcall.com |
+----------+-------------+----------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
