The cookbook shows

_sips._tcp.bigu.edu. 43200 IN SRV 0 0 5060 sipserver1.bigu.edu.

Other examples I've seen use:

_sip._tls.bigu.edu. 43200 IN SRV 0 0 5060 sipserver1.bigu.edu.

Should I be using both?

RFC 3263 (Locating SIP Servers) says:

[SRV] Queries are done using the service identifier "_sip" for SIP URIs and "_sips" for SIPS URIs.

So following the standards would mean to use _sips._tcp.bigu.edu, though I don't know if all SIPS capable clients support that.
