I'm pretty sure this is a known asterisk problem, not an astlinux problem. I don't know your exact setup, but if Asterisk is resolving an external SIP address via DNS and is unable to do so, your system will hang. I don't know if this can be avoided with a local caching dns (such as dnsmasq) or not. I'd be willing to bet that if you reloaded asterisk or restarted the SIP channel the internal stuff would have worked. If you can prove this one way or another, it would be valuable information.
