[Asterisk-Users] Dynamic IP Addrress Work Around

[The Traveller]

Yo Uriel,

At least for IAX, you can configure users with dynamic IP's and make
the Asterisk-box behind the xDSL-modem register with another box.
I'm not sure if a dynamic DNS-service would work, as Asterisk
probably only resolves the hostnames in it's configuration on startup
or reload, although I'm not entirely sure about this.

The comments in the sample "iax.conf" should be enough to get you
started.


    Grtz,

       Oliver
