Section 4 says:
The address of the atlanta.com SIP server could have been configured in Alice's softphone, or it could have been discovered by DHCP, for example.
It should say:
The address of the atlanta.com SIP server could have been configured in Alice's softphone, or it could have been discovered by DNS, for example.
Notes:
DHCP Server gives away the DNS-Server to use (or sets it with DHCP option) but usually does no address translation itself. It would also be possible to omit the whole sentence.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
DHCP was the intent of the example.
