>> SIPURA is really an awesome device, you can do just about anything.

It is awesome, but I think in a different way than you suggest :-)

For example, the documentation for "Proxy" says it is the
"SIP Proxy Server for all outbound requests"... which would be fine,
except that it isn't that.

It does appear to be the Domain, as you suggest (Thanks!).  Well... if
it is specified alone then it is both the domain and the proxy server.
If Outbound Proxy is specified, then it is just the Domain, it no
longer appears to function as the proxy.

OK, so if you specify the Proxy, and the "Outbound Proxy", together
with "Use Outbound Proxy" and "Use OB Proxy in Dialog", where the
documentation strongly suggests that the OB will be used for *all*
outbound requests (they use the words "force" and "all"), then you're
pretty sure that either your Proxy or your Outbound Proxy will get
set-up packets... right?

Ooops!  The reality is that if you have "use DNS SRV" set (under
"Proxy and Registration"), and then dial foo at baz.net then the box
will use DNS SRV for baz.net and send the INVITE *directly* to the
returned server... no packets will make it to the proxies we set
(the ones we just *forced* such packets to).

Note that not only is "use DNS SRV" only under the "Proxy and
Registration" section, but the documentation strongly suggests that it
affects only the Proxy and OB Proxy lookups.

So, Yes, it is awesome.  I find myself constantly in awe 
when working with the SPA3000 and SPA942 :-)
