[asterisk-dev] DNS queries blocking SIP calls?

[Andrea Spadaccini]

Hello everybody,
is it possible that sometimes SIP-2-SIP calls are blocked by unsuccessful DNS
queries?

I've put up a test environment, without Internet access, and I configured a
VoIP SIP line (sip.someprovider.com), whose name can't obviously be resolved.

Sometimes I notice that my test calls are like blocked: the CLI doesn't show
anything, and the they are released when a message regarding sip registration
appears: "chan_sip.c:5508 sip_reg_timeout:   -- Registration for [omissis]
timed ou, trying again (Attempt #X)".

I'm using Asterisk 1.2.24. Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance,
