> When reloading the config containing an IAX peer with a destination hostname (rather than IP address), the target address/and port are invalidated resulting in the peer becoming unreachable.
> This is accompanied by errors like this:
> ERROR[734] netsock2.c: Unknown address family '0'.
> ERROR[734] netsock2.c: getnameinfo(): ai_family not supported
> Looking at the code, line 12931 in chan_iax2.c appears to be the cause:
> peer->addr.ss.ss_family = AST_AF_UNSPEC;
> In short, the peer address is being invalidated on the assumption that the subsequent ast_dnsmgr_lookup() call will restore it.  However, if dnsmgr is enabled - then this doesn't happen, as the ast_dnsmgr_lookup() just returns without updating the ast_sockaddr structure if the hostname hasn't changed.  
> I'm not sure whether this is the correct behaviour or not if dnsmgr is not enabled, but it certainly doesn't seem to be if it is.
> Attached is a proposed patch to force a refresh of the dnsmgr entry (if there is one) instead.
