Hi, I want to document this, it might not be a "bug" per say, but it might be the root of other problems.
My local DHCP server passes out 2 DNS IP's, the first a local DNS, the second a public DNS. $ cat /etc/resolv.conf search priv.abelbeck.com nameserver 192.168.100.116 nameserver 68.12.16.25 In my test setup, 68.12.16.25 (backup DNS) is unreachable, 192.168.100.116 is active. When I start asterisk, it hangs for 90-100 seconds while loading SIP, then finally continues with the DNS found from the local DNS. I then swapped my DHCP server entries such that: $ cat /etc/resolv.conf search priv.abelbeck.com nameserver 68.12.16.25 nameserver 192.168.100.116 No change, SIP hangs for 90-100 seconds. I then made my DHCP server hand out only one address, the active one: $ cat /etc/resolv.conf search priv.abelbeck.com nameserver 192.168.100.116 Fixed, SIP loaded in a second or two. Now, back to the normal situation: $ cat /etc/resolv.conf search priv.abelbeck.com nameserver 192.168.100.116 nameserver 68.12.16.25 I used 'ping' to resolve names, and things resolved quickly, not matter that 68.12.16.25 was unreachable. Therefore this is an asterisk DNS thing. I'm hoping this behavior might direct the focus of other problems. Clearly, one secondary and unreachable DNS server should not halt asterisk for 90-100 seconds.
