[SIPForum-discussion] Registration domains. Are IP's allowed ?

[Tomasz Zieleniewski]

Hi,

When client construct REGISTER request, request URI points the domain
for which the registration is meant. While SIP domains are related to DNS
domains
not IP addresses client should use DNS domain. Just like it is in case of
defaults client behavior when it takes host part of it's AOR.

How registrar knows about it's domains is registrar implementation specific,
Anyway if the request is not for it's domain set registrar should act as
proxy.
One can imagine using IP addresses but this is problematic.
That would disable the possibility to use proceedures for locating sip
servers
and leave a question if registrar will accept and understand such request.

Kind regards
