If you're refering to an IAX channel then, yes, that's the concept behind the 
'qualify=' option. However, there are known weaknesses including that the loss 
of a single ping makes the remote host appear to be down. There is a patch for 
head available at http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=4192 that attempts to make 
peer qualification more useful.

Hope that helps.

[Asterisk-Users] Dial timeout when server down

2005-06-17 Thread Yves

Hello,

When dialing somewhere and the other side is down, Asterisk waits until 
dial timeout before sending "CHANUNAVAIL". I think that if after several 
seconds there are not any reply (I mean at the IP level) we could 
consider that the link is just down and handle the situation.


Is it possible to configure Asterisk to have this behaviour?

Many thanks.

Yves.
