  I don't think you have any delegation from ipaxiom.com to the
sipserver.ipaxiom.com zone.

  To me, it seems strange to even create a zone to hold the SRV records.
SRV records for SIP are the voice equivelent to MX records for e-mail.  Do
you force your users to use bob at mailserver.ipaxiom.com, or just
bob at ipaxiom.com?  Probably the later.  Why not the same for SIP?
