The same thing happened to me a few days ago.. Truthfully, I thought it was just me, and a coincidence.. My DSL line went down, and astertisk refused to work until it came back up...
I couldn't even dial out, nor would it receive calls on my 3 analog (X101P card) lines!!!! I don't know about anyone else, but if I decide to offer * to my clients, and tell them that your internal phones will go down if your internet blips, I think I'll be thrown out and the door locked behind me.. What's more, I don't feel that any programming should be needed on my end to have asterisk just silently mark any connection as unreachable just as it does now to sip clients when they do not register or respond to a qualify=yes directive.. Linux doesn't hang if it cannot resolve a dns, why should it make * go crazy? - Andre -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Alex Vishnev Sent: Friday, April 15, 2005 8:52 AM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk became berserk when Internet connectionis down and can't register to SIP server. I think there are a couple of things you can do: 1. Switch the provider to get a stable internet connection ;-) 2. convert your lookups to IP addresses instead of domains. However, if you clients register with address like [EMAIL PROTECTED], then dns will be used to resolve blah.com and then you have a problem. I am not sure if converting to ip addresses is doable on a large scale. 3. monitor your internet connection with another script. If the connection fails then automatically edit * config file to remove your registration with FWD and reload the proper config. 4. configure * with realtime extensions and place peers into mysql db. Then use option 3 to monitor your internet connection and remove the peer on failure. This step does not require reloading config.
