Use DNS local to the server "just" to keep the server happy. Once you
have done that, go into GENERAL>DOMAIN and add the IP address of the
system as an alias.  If preferred phones/ua's can register via the IP
instead of DNS. Gateways would not necessarily care, but lots of
gateways are "picky" sometimes.
 
You may want to wait for others to provide feedback or guidance on what
I would suggest here as it could (doubtful) have a negative impact: 
 
As for certificates, just get your time working the way you want it.
The issue that you were referred to with time was simply a "cosmetic"
issue when sythetic time was issued by the system before writing the
config and certificate. To get around this you can make sure your time
is correct and re-issue the certificate with:
 
/usr/bin/ssl-cert/gen-ssl-keys.sh 
 
Quoted from Scott lawrence: "the script will generate new keys - it
will prompt you for all the information that's needed.  There are more
detailed instructions on your system in
/usr/share/doc/sipx/INSTALL.ssl"
 
At the end of the script it displays the command to "install' the keys.
Once you do that, it migth be wise to restart services so that the
system uses the keys.

I had the opportunity to do an install of 3.10.2 from the Centos 5 ISO,
and I noticed the certificate started 4 or 5 hours "later" then the
system time. Probably because timesync was not really active prior to
running the install script which generated and installed the keys.

Hello,

Thanks everyone for your help. I have a few followup questions.

So the recommended setup in my case is to enable the DNS service on the

SipX server at install and then use the format sipx.myfqdn.com to avoid

issues that may crop up in the future? Since SipX isn't designed to
work 
in a pure IP scenario implementing this is the insurance policy?

Is it also advisable to enable NTP server at install but when it asks 
you for the time simply back off the time a bit (ex. when its really 
9:00AM set the time manually on install to 8:55 AM) so the certificate

is valid timewise when the server reboots and synchronizes with the
time 
source?
