Apparently, FreeSwitch tries to look up "BroadWorks" in DNS and doesn't find anything, because that's not an existing DNS name.
I don't think that is what is going on. Have these guys never heard of freakin SRV records. :P
That is exactly what's going on; what do you find if you look up the name "BroadWorks" in DNS? There's no TLD called "BroadWorks" so I don't see how it could succeed. I captured all the traffic with Wireshark and I can see that FreeSwitch does SRV lookups and gets a negative response. I have noticed that when I use my Sipura ATA with Broadvoice, it uses a special Broadvoice nameserver, so it's possible that that nameserver resolves the name "BroadWorks". Is the realm supposed to be a DNS name? I don't fully understand how the authentication works. Though Asterisk does seem to work with Broadvoice, it does seem that Broadvoice is pickier and more difficult to use than other services, so I may decide to switch to a different one.
