[jadmin] server aliases

[Paul Cahill]

Here is an example of how we set ours up for our customers:
First I setup a CNAME entry to point im.TheirDomain.com to our jabber 
server:
im          IN  CNAME   Jabber.OurDomain.com.

Then I create the SRV records:
_xmpp-server._tcp.Theirdomain.com. 86400 IN SRV 5 0 5269 im.TheirDomain.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.TheirDomain.com. 86400 IN SRV 5 0 5222 im.TheirDomain.com.
_jabber._tcp.TheirDomain.com. 86400 IN SRV 5 0 5269 im.TheirDomain.com.

Keep in mind you will need to make sure your server is listening for 
that domain (EG: feline-soul.net and not just jabber.feline-soul.net), 
and the accounts will also have to reflect the @feline-soul.net and the 
accounts cannot be used for both domains.  For example:
bearcat at feline-soul.net will be a different user than 
bearcat at jabber.feline-soul.net.
If you are using Jabber14, your spool directory will need to have the 
user xml files in a feline-soul.net directory (with the correct 
permissions).
