iax2_poke_peer() is not called in the context of a regular call at all.  It
is called for all peers in iax.conf when Asterisk loads.  At this time, if
it knows the IP address, it will go ahead and start pinging them with this
POKE.  It also gets called on a registration.  When a peer registers,
Asterisk now knows its IP and can start pinging it.

"The real question is should iax2_poke_peer really return 0 if there is a
fixed IP address, and no dnsmgr? I would think a fixed IP would function
fine with no dnsmgr."

No, it should not.  However, it doesn't do that.  It only returns early in
the case that there is _no_ IP specified, and dnsmgr is not in use, meaning
that the address is not going to magically show up at some point in the
future.
