Hi Steven,
I would recommend using a proper domain name as much as possible. For one, it looks nicer! A SIP URI is supposed to be user@domain like an e-mail address is, and I hope that one day URI dialing will be common place, so we might as well do it right the first time.
What you're saying is that "domain" should really be a fully-qualified host name that points via DNS to the actual host on which FreeSwitch is running. That is, the domain should be "pbx.example.com" instead of just " example.com", as the last example would most likely point to a web server, not the SIP server. Do I have that right? Next, in the configuration for Polycom phones (for example), there are 2 fields that both have the userid. In the example in http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Polycom_configuration it has: reg.1.auth.userId="1000" and reg.1.address="1000@fs.domain.local" How is the "address" value used? Is that sent in the SIP registration message? If that's the case, what does Freeswitch do with it? -- Steve
