Re: [reSIProcate] How does a client build a DNS lookup that restr icts the responses to UDP?


Hi, I just found a quick followup...

I find that if I do a lookup with a URI such as
"sip:user@xxxxxxxxxx;transport=udp", the library ignores the NAPTR records
and chooses the _sip._udp.<domain.com> SRV record.  Thus, if the DNS
response has a NAPTR with a different preference for UDP such as
_sip2._udp.<domain.com>, it will be ignored in favor of the default.

Is this a known condition that DNS admins will take into account, or should
I first do a lookup without it, and search those results for UDP transports?
If none are found, then I do a lookup with ";transport=udp" appended to
guarantee a UDP response?  (I hate to do two lookups if I don't need to.)
What's the proper way to use the library (DnsInterface class) for this case?

Regards,
Dave

        Well, you can always do sip:user@xxxxxxxxxx;transport=udp. Also, if
your stack doesn't support TCP, it should use UDP instead. Lastly, if there
are no TCP SRVs in DNS, you should also get UDP results.
