		<description>Hei Tom, 

to put it in different words, the single domain setup requires an additional (internal) domain
for internal devices and mapping via findme/ocs relay. But it works fine :-)

What is the reason that you list:
_sip._tls.company.com                 srv     0 0 5061 vcs-e.company.com.
_sips._tls.company.com               srv     0 0 5061 vcs-e.company.com.

Also
_h323cs._tcp.company.com      srv     1 0 1720 vcs-e.company.com.
_sip._udp.company.com              srv     0 0 5060 vcs-e.company.com.
are not really &quot;needed&quot; and can be seen as optional.

If you have a vcs-e its even worth thinking about disabling 5060udp completly
as this is way fewer used for video conferening then for voip scans :-)

In addition I would recomed a weight and priority of 10, the A/AAAA record 
&quot;should&quot; not only be there it MUST (not even CNAME), as it is required for SRV (see RFC2782)</description>

		<description>It&#039;s not only best practice, it&#039;s more or less required. There are always problems in the installations i&#039;ve seen when the same sipdomain is used.

I&#039;ve never used anything other guides than the official ones, so unfortunately I can&#039;t recommend anything else other than the internet :/</description>

		<description>Is it best practise to use different SIP domains when integrating Tandberg VCS with Lync?

We have a small installation with a VCS Control and a VCS Expressway and the VCS Control is also acting as Lync Gateway.

Can you recommend any good resources about Tandberg and Lync integration – apart from the official deployment guide?

Thanks!</description>

		<description>Hi!

Yes they can. 

The domain in the SRV record needs to correspond to the domain used in the SIP/H323 URI though, so if your endpoint has address &lt;em&gt;something@subdomain.company.com&lt;/em&gt; your example can be used.

I use this a lot when integrating with other systems, eg. MS Lync. The Lync SIP domain is normally company.com, while the Cisco/Tandberg domain would be video.company.com to ease the routing between the to systems.</description>

		<description>Can SRV Records be used for subdomains?

i.e., 

_sip._tcp.subdomain.company.com               srv     0 0 5060 vcs-e.subdomain.company.com.

TIA!</description>

		<description>Hi

For clustering, you can either create an SRV record with equal priority and weight and target each of the peers in the cluster, or you can set up the A record to the VCS cluster as a Round robin list of ip addresses. 

see more in the cluster creation guide:

		<description>For clustering, does a new entry needs to be added on the DNS or can one of the above be used?  Thanks!</description>
