Thanks. My problem seems to really be with my lack of knowledge of nslookup In fact: Nslookup Set querytype=srv _sip._udp.bizfocused.com worked fine The VERY LONG boot time oin the phone is sucky though. However, since the client phones are all cisco spa504g's they have a proxy field and an alternate proxy to login to if the primary fails! That is what I was looking for anyway. It appears worse case the phone will have to be rebooted to come back online. Thanks for the feedback though.

Try a Wireshark capture, make sure the request is being responded to. Can you query other records ok?

I have added SRV records for _sip._udp.bizfocused.com, even though _sip is not one of the stock choices in the dropdown list from the add SRV record dialog. I can see them in DNS console listed under my domain: bizfocused.com +_udp (2 _sip records show up here) However, I cannot find any tool that can successfully request/display those values (like nslookup). And of course when I turn on "Use DNS SRV" on my phone it just hangs on "CHECKING DNS". Any ideas for hosting _sip._udp SRV records would be greatly appreciated. Do I have to move my DNS to a UNIX box or DNS Service provider?
