Really? I've found that a dynamic domain name --> IP linkup didn't work
with Asterisk - it seemed to caches the IP of the domain name and didn't
re-lookup the IP until after a reload.

I've found a novel work-a-round: I have a server on the Internet in
a data centre that maps a real static address to the dynamic IP
address of the computer connected via. the ISP. I've got a script
that runs on the client ISP connected machine (its running Linux an
the script is in the ppp-up.d directory so runs automatically
everytime the pc reconnects and gets a new dynamic IP) - this client
script (perl) talks to the server daemon (also perl) and then the
data centre server re-maps the static IP to the dynamic IP - it
redirects (using socat - excellent software!) to redirect the IAX2
port and the RTP ports between the IP addresses so that the normally
dynamic IP addressed asterisk server now always has a real live
static IP address.
This solution is working very well between two remote offices
passing calls between the central data server computer.
I wonder would this solution help many people? I now couldn't live
without it. If other people are interested I could have a little
business renting people static mapped IP addresses.
Who needs that when there's dyndns and similar free services which
are even supported by many routers? I have a dyndns hostname and my
router is configured to contact the dyndns site whenever the IP on
the public side changes. Works very well for my Asterisk setup at home.
