Asterisk PJSIP identify match host with multiple A records

Hello,
I connected my PBX to a SIP server with host name ipx.mixvoip.com that have multiple A records:

# dig A ipx.mixvoip.com

; <<>> DiG 9.9.4-RedHat-9.9.4-74.el7_6.1 <<>> A ipx.mixvoip.com

ipx.mixvoip.com.        29      IN      A       185.125.183.22

I got inbound call that got rejected with reason No matching endpoint found.
Then i checked what is going on and noticed my asterisk 13.27.1 is not adding all IP addresses to the Identify-Match but only the first 5 IP addresses:

voip*CLI> pjsip show identify mixvoip

 Identify:  <Identify/Endpoint...........................................................>
      Match:  <criteria...........................>
==========================================================================================

 Identify:  mixvoip/mixvoip
      Match: 185.125.183.7/32
      Match: 185.125.183.11/32
      Match: 185.125.183.21/32
      Match: 185.125.183.3/32
      Match: 185.125.183.4/32

 ==============================================
 endpoint      : mixvoip

 match         : 185.125.183.11/255.255.255.255
 match         : 185.125.183.21/255.255.255.255
 match         : 185.125.183.3/255.255.255.255
 match         : 185.125.183.4/255.255.255.255
 match_header  :
 srv_lookups   : true

Why is it not adding all the IP addresses assigned to the host name?
Is there a limit of 5 ip addresses?

Debug level 5 shows only 5 IP addresses processed:

It’s preferring the SRV records which seems to only return 5 records:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
_sip._udp.ipx.mixvoip.com. 30	IN	SRV	1 1 5060 3.ipx.mixvoip.com.
_sip._udp.ipx.mixvoip.com. 30	IN	SRV	1 1 5060 16.ipx.mixvoip.com.
_sip._udp.ipx.mixvoip.com. 30	IN	SRV	1 1 5060 4.ipx.mixvoip.com.
_sip._udp.ipx.mixvoip.com. 30	IN	SRV	1 1 5060 22.ipx.mixvoip.com.
_sip._udp.ipx.mixvoip.com. 30	IN	SRV	1 1 5060 11.ipx.mixvoip.com.

If you set “srv_lookups” to “no” it will perform strictly A record lookups instead which will get all the IPs.
