Summary:                    SIP qualify goes out of control and kills links

Bluefox, You mentioned that Asterisk " dies" and has to restart.  Is this
an actually crash?  If so please provide a back trace if you are able to
reproduce it again.

In 1.4 it doesn't appear that there are as many qualify options as there
are in 1.6.  I would suggest possibly adjusting the qualifyfreq option but
that is not available in 1.4...  1200 peers is quite a lot.  If something
wrong goes on with the network, and a qualify fails, then Asterisk will
re-attempt that qualify a few times in succession (five times I think)...
If 1200 peers fail to qualify that could definitely spike traffic up.
