yes, agree.

yes, a common setup is to copy records (A or SRV) records from the
sipxecs system for SIP and IM to your company DNS server.  sipxecs
maintains it's own DNS because "everything is a DNS issue" and sipxecs
breaks horribly all the time when we rely on company DNS server to be
correct.  In addition the number of records we require now for a HA
system has exploded because a lot more services are HA now.  If before
copying the "RR" records was problematic, now it's 10x worse.  The
silly thing is that these records were only used internally by sipxecs
so why make admins go thru the torture. Funny thing is this hasn't
changed much from 4.4, but it wasn't clear before that this is
actually what happened.
