client daemon will request all the configuration parameters mentioned below. The list of configuration parameters that the client can
request are listed below:
Obtain a list of one or more IPv6 addresses of DNS recursive name servers to which a client's DNS resolver may send DNS queries.
Obtain the domain search list that the client must use while resolving hostnames
using DNS.
Obtain the list of IPv6 addresses that indicate SIP outbound proxy servers
available to the client.
Obtain the domain names of the SIP outbound proxy servers that the client
can use.
