Well, I indeed solved the problem by disabling 'rtcachefriends', but
then I wanted to add DUNDi into the mix.

My setup is to have 'regcontext' setup in sip.conf so that registered
users are automatically added to a specific context. DUNDi can then
lookup users that are registered in that context. With 'rtcachefriends'
enabled, everything works fine, but with 'rtcachefriends' disabled,
Asterisk still claims that it adds registered SIP users to the context:
<log>
-- SIP Seeding peer from astdb: '333' at 333 at 62.90.116.111:5066 for 3600
-- Added extension '333' priority 1 to dundi-priv-local
</log>
But they don't show up in 'dialplan show' (while previously they did)
and DUNDi also don't think they are added as DUNDi lookups now fail.

After re-enabling 'rtcachefriends' DUNDi lookups work, but I'm back to
the old problem of having to do a full 'sip reload' whenever the
database info is updated.

I'm thinking at least one of these behaviors is a bug - what do you
think ?
