I don't think this is a new issue--I've seen it talked about on the

My DNS server went out last night in a horrendous storm when an
upstream link went down. The madness is that the behavior of the
whole server, including the part that's handling my POTS lines, gets
wigged out on a DNS failure, making the whole system unusable. I
have two questions; being able to solve either would be wonderful:
Asterisk is horrible at handleing DNS failures. Don't use DNS with
Asterisk.
I have found Asterisk is terrible with any kind of internet outage. IAX
stops trying to register if the internet goes down for a few minutes and
the customer looses long distance calling until a tech resets the PBX. I
had to setup a cron job to reload asterisk every hour to get any kind of
reliability.
I also found the same problem with local calls, when I lose internet the
locals calls go out also. How can that make any sense?
