My domain provider is willing to create a SRV record in the DNS server, for routing sip calls (sip:henk@oegema.com) to my Asterisk server.
This is what the provider wrote me:
[i]Dear Henk Oegema
Thank you for contacting us.
We cannot help you to setup your SRV record, this is not a service we provide our customers, if you want to have a SRV record, you have to tell us what info you want to enter, then we will enter exactly that information (Corrected so it fits our nameservers of course), but we do not offer to help you figure out what your SRV record should look like.[/i]
Because I don’t have access to that server, the SRV record has to be correct straight from the start, to avoid multiples mails from me to my domain provider. (and I have never done this before)
I’m a VoIP/SIP newbie, but if your server’s IP address is dynamic while the DNS server is static, it won’t work. You’re not going to ask your ISP to update the relevant SRV record every time your IP changes.

But wait for the smart people to answer [/quote]
I asked my provider that question.Here is his answer:
[i]Dear Henk Oegema
Thank you for contacting us.
It is possible to use your address “henkoegema.ftpaccess.cc”, you just have to specify how the SRV record should be setup.
Should you have further questions or comments, please contact us again.
Best regards

There are providers who offer sip registration with them(like: sipme.nl)
This is an alternative. But then my e-mail address and sip address are not equal.(and that is what I want)
this response does not tell how to reach your server either, and www.henk.oegema.com is a service that points to yet somewhere else.
Supporting a changing ip usually is done by dyndns providers (yes, they can handle your domain name at nominal cost), but I doubt they let you create SRV records.
You could perhaps change the lifetime of the record to 1 minute, but I doubt that ascio are set up for fast changing records.

You are correct of course that my dyndns will not (can not ?) create a SRV record.
That has to be done by my domain provider.
But suppose that my server ip adress is static (f.e. 81.164.185.132)
Then I put the question again as follows:
