So I saw mention of a way to allow dialing using SIP URI's on Dave McNett's site at http://slacker.com/~nugget/projects/asterisk/page7 Wow, awesome, I can call anywhere now. However, I think there is a more elegant way of figuring out whether or not the local * server should handle a given domain. Specifically, Dave compares a series of domains within extensions.conf to figure out how to handle the call. I would rather use something like the function CHECKSIPDOMAIN - this feels more appropriate. So, CHECKSIPDOMAIN uses the domain=blah entries in sip.conf. However, contrary to the docs, it would seem that one MUST associate a context with each domain= entry. My * complains otherwise with a warning upon load that the domains are not associated with any contexts, and when I run "sip show domains" at the CLI I get "SIP Domain support not enabled." I am hesitant to set that up, too. Does anyone understand the security implications of domain= entries in sip.conf? Especially since I want to use these entries only for deciding how to handle outbound calls. I guess what I am saying is that since this is for outbound calls, and I need to specify a context, how does this affect incoming calls and the specified context from a security point of view? What will domain= change when trying to authenticate calls? Sincerely, Brent A.
