  DNS SVR Resource Records
  It is important that your SIP clients can connect to your server for purposes of
registration and call control. You might even want to have a redundant server to handle
calls if your primary server is unavailable. 
  These requirements can be meet by using DNS SVR Resource Records, available in BIND 8.X
and up releases. 
  The format for a SVR RR is this: 

_service._protocol        SVR Priority Weight     Port hostname
  In this case we want to establish an entry for our primary SIP server,
gateway.mydomain.com, that will listen on UDP port 5060. The entry will look like this: 

_sip._udp         SRV     0  0   5060  gateway.mydomain.com
  Placement of the new resource record is important. Here is a sample zone file: 

; zone 'mydomain.com'   last serial 1998071308  $ORIGIN com.  mydomain  86400     
     IN      SOA     gateway.mydomain.com. postmaster.mydomain.com. (                     
                    1998111908 ; Serial                                          36000 ;
Refresh                                          900 ; Retry                              
           36000 ; Expire                                          28800 ); Minimum       
          IN      NS              gateway.mydomain.com.                  IN      NS       
      ns3.backupdomain.com.                  IN      MX              1
gateway.mydomain.com.                  IN      A               192.168.0.1    ;If we place
the SRV record above the next line it fails to load  $ORIGIN fitawi.com.  _sip._udp       
       SRV  0 0  5060  gateway.mydomain.com.  gateway         IN      A              
192.168.0.1  www             IN      CNAME           gateway.mydomain.com.

  After reloading your zone file you can verify that the entry is working by using dig. 

dig -t SRV _sip._udp.mydomain.com
  The results should look something like this: 

; <<>> DiG 9.1.0 <<>> -t SRV _sip._udp.mydomain.com  ;; global
options:  printcmd  ;; Got answer:  ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status:

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:  mydomain.com.             86400   IN      NS     
ns3.elsewhere.com.  mydomain..com             86400   IN      NS      gateway.
mydomain.com.    ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:  gateway. mydomain.com.     86400   IN      A

thanks in advance!
