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

When I reported this bug I didn't see the "Refreshing DNS lookups"
messages, even after a "dnsmgr reload" or killing the asterisk process.

I stopped Asterisk once again, checked that it was really dead, restarted
it and now I see the "Refreshing DNS lookups" messages. Everything is
working as expected now.

I really don't know what went wrong in my previous tests. Anyway, thanks
for your time and sorry for the noise.
