Could this be why my program cannot resolve the proper IP address
of "sip:myuser at myHost.com" if I have a seperate SIP server on
the same domain as the web server?  But on a different machine
in the domain with a different IP address.  For the time being,
I have to use a hard coded IP address until I can figure out
why it's not resolving properly.

Jason, are you also working on a Mac Implmentation of resip?
I want to talk to you,  if you are....

Consider me "chimed in"  :-)   But let me look at some of my notes and
see what I can come up with.
