      In the VOIP provider field, the text specifically says, "This allows you to provide the IP address of the remote PBX or SIP Trunk to prioritize."

      Can I not just enter the FQDN…or does it HAVE to be an IP address?  (It LETS me put an FQDN and doesn't complain)

        Just create an alias and use that.  That way in the if any of the provider info changes you can just edit the alias and not worry about editing the queue/fw rules.
