Usually, they expect calls to come from the registrar that they registered to, and few of them implement SRV correctly enough to solve this problem.
Well, that's why we are forced to use IP failover. Sad but true.

Asterisk has been completely broken in regards of SRV support. It doesn't fail over, it doesn't handle IPv6 and Ipv4 in SRV priorities correctly, and it doesn't accept incoming calls from all hosts in the SRV record set.

I'm trying to fix that in my pgtips branch.

I don't know the state of FreeSwitch in regards of SRV support, nor do I know what's planned for the new SIP stack in Asterisk.

In Kamailio - is there any way that we can check if a server that contacts us is part of a SRV record set?
If I get a call from a server using the domain @evaristesys.com - can I check if that server actually is defined as authorative for that domain by checking SRV records - and  without a TLS client cert?
