Re: [reSIProcate] Custom SRV lookups

I know this is not the SIP standard way (RFC 3263), but in some cases

Initiating proxies you may want to differentiate one type of SIP domains
from another type (for business reasons) based on custom SRV lookups.



This is a very unusual requirement and potentially not the best way to achieve the result.

Does resiprocate provide a configurable way to achieve that? Anyone else
having to do it?


This isn't a problem with resiprocate per-se but a problem with the RFC and/or the mechanism your partners have chosen to implement. The NAPTR -> SRV mapping is the point where this can be controlled. If you want to use an alternate SRV record name you can map the NAPTR query to the alternate name. If you are trying to setup an alternate SRV nomenclature that isn't SIP related then you'd have to modify reSIProcate to do this. I think the approach you are proposing is fraught with danger. Perhaps the general SIP community and suite of protocols already solves the problem you have. Can you post a description of the desired end result and requirements?

Love to help, but want to discourage proliferation of non-standard solutions in a space where there are many, many ways to skin the cat already.
