Summary:                    SIP OPTIONS qualify message forever
Description: 
Hello, I have a trouble with different Asterisk versions (1.4.26, 1.4.27,
1.4.27.1). When I use the steps below, Asterisk starts to send SIP OPTIONS
to the previous IP/port used by a SIP realtime peer (that has been pruned)
and will keep trying to send SIP OPTIONS pings forever, event if the peer
is connected with a new IP/port address.

I have just checked with my old Asterisk 1.2.27 with the same sip.conf and
I do not have the problem, the SIP OPTIONS stops once register timer has
expired.

During my experience to reproduce the bug, I have been able to have 10
IP/port currently pinged by the Asterisk server for one single peer.
And the only way to stop it is to restart Asterisk...

Thank you for your attention!

This happens every time * loses contact with a handset.  I am getting the
full trace sent to me now.  I'll not attach it - it's massive - but I will
give you a link to grab it from.

As you can see from the screen shot - I had an average of 7Mb/s in just 21
seconds.  All this traffic was the * server (196.1.1.1) sending out OPTIONS
requests to the handset (192.168.0.81 in this case).  This can be verified
by the Wireshark display filter.

This is causing an issue - as the WAN link is only a 2Mb/s SDSL one :)
