Hi,
Already set to static in /etc/hosts :).

Another issue that may arise is regading name resolution.
If you're forwarding your requests to another server using a real domain
name instead of an IP, at least one name server is course involved.
Under very high load or under a name server failure, messages will be
kept by the smsbox throwing an "ERROR: error while gw_gethostbyname
occurs" to the smsbox.log. It's obvious: smsbox wouldn't know were to
forward the requests and we'll keep trying until the named service comes
back online. If you don't notice the failure (specially if you're using
your ISP's name servers and you don't control/monitor them) your store
file will grow and grow accordingly.
A simple solution to this is to set the domain name statically on
/etc/hosts (you'll save a call to the name server also) or, if possible,
replace the domain by it's IP (that's not always possible, specially if
it's a virtual domain, but it's the most performing option because
there's not name resolution involved).
I also recommend you to set the hostname for the Kannel machine on the
/etc/hosts file of the web server to minimize name resolution on the web
server also (That's only if you are using different machines for Kannel
and web server, I mean).
Hope it helps,

i suggest you to make
immediate-sendsms-reply = true
in your smsbox config.
I would suggest to remove this config option and its if's from
smsbox, as i 've experienced
too, that it makes kannel extremely unreliable.
