Exactly. This is a typical problem of vendors using confusing names
in their configuration schemes... at least they confuse me. Here's
what we have working on a Cisco 79xx - we're running 5.1.0 (shame on
us!).

domain_name : mit.edu
image_version : "P0S3-05-1-00"
FirmLoadID : "PC030301"
phone_label : "617-324-8903 "

line1_name : "6173248903"
line1_authname :
""
line1_password : **********
line1_shortname : "48903"
line1_displayname : "MIT SIP Lab Cisco 7940"
proxy1_address : "mit.edu"

proxy_register : 1
proxy_backup : "18.7.21.118"
proxy_emergency : "18.7.21.118"
outbound_proxy : 18.7.21.118

So I think all the *1_* fields are associated with the SIP account
assigned to "Line 1" - ie. "proxy1_address" is really "line1_domain" -
confusing! So the SIP URI for Line 1 is made up of
line1_name@proxy1_address
- ie.
sip:
. So you'd see
something like:

From: "MIT SIP Lab Cisco 7940"
<sip:>

I'll guess at the last three lines above - that all SIP requests are
sent to "outbound_proxy"; with "proxy_backup" as a fallback; and
unless "proxy_emergency" is matched in the phones dial plan. You
should be able to leave these blank and let the phone use DNS to
determine where to send the requests - but I don't know if Cisco
allows that? You also should be able to enter a FQDN in these fields
and use DNS to specify the list of proxy addresses - but I don't know
if Cisco supports that either?

Hope this helps. If anybody thinks I've got this wrong speak up -
it's been a while since I've played with a Cisco phone!
