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.
