for inbound connections how does asterisk manage host=host-name returning multiple A records... will
it allow authentication for any of the IP's returned?

I would assume that in the case of 'inbound' if you specify a host- name that you have PTR records for you could do it in one entry
again I'm making a blind assumption.

IE say you 10.23.23.3, .4, .5 as his IP's
if you created entries either in your own dns or etc hosts (depending on os) you should be able to create entries for each of his IP's all resolving to the same name... and then "one entry" ... for his transactions from him -> you. now the reverse of you -> him you would in theory loose control over which host you send the call to but if he doesn't
care then it wold work...

and while this assumes you have no moral / security objection to using host-names.

someone would have to keep my honest here though as I haven't looked at where asterisk does the NS lookup and how those transactions work. if it only read the conf file and did a translation at startup via a single lookup for host name then this wouldn't work.

Thing is, he does not REGISTER to me, he just uses me as proxy for his calls. I authenticate his calls in his IP.

Hi,

I am running Asterisk 1.4.4, and needed to setup sip accounts for someone to call my server and place calls. However, he has multiple IP's that he comes from, and since I authenticate him of his IP, I did this, and it works.

[vz1]
context=outbound
type=friend
host=x.x.x.x
disallow=all
allow=alaw
canreinvite=no

[vz2]
context=outbound
type=friend
host=y.y.y.y
disallow=all
allow=alaw
canreinvite=no

[vz3]
context=outbound
type=friend
host=.z.z.z.z
disallow=all
allow=alaw
canreinvite=no


However, is there anyway I can have just one account for him, with mult host= statements, so I can authenticate him based on his IP in just one place?

thanks,
