I’ve been playing around with Trixbox (a VOIP PABX) and Ekiga (a VOIP soft phone). It worked (mostly), but Ekiga was taking forever to cause the other phone to ring. A little packet sniffing showed that Ekiga needs an SRV DNS record to help it find the SIP server. Since I’m running DNSMasq (a combined DNS/DHCP service) I just needed to add:
srv-host=_sip._udp.server.domain,server FQDN, 5060
…to my /etc/dnsmasq file, and it starts working in real time. I imagine if you were using a hardware IP Phone (Grandstream, etc) you’d have the same problem.
