Summary:                    DNS host name resolution in iax.conf
Description: 
I defined host=voipb1.mydomain.local in a iax.conf trunk and it was working
fine until the DNS A record of that host changed IP address. Asterisk still
tried to send calls to the old IP address.
I restarted Asterisk and the calls were finally sent to the correct IP
address so I'm guessing that the "host=" name resolution is done only at
startup.  

iax.conf:

[coin]
deny=all
allow=alaw
allow=gsm
type=friend
host=voipb1.mydomain.local
secret=xxx
auth=plaintext
qualify=yes
context=coin-context

I've just tested this using /etc/hosts and it worked as expected. Do you
see:

== Refreshing DNS lookups.

At the specified refresh interval?
