[Asterisk-Users] Multiple gateways for same dial pattern

I don't know if "ringing" timeout is how I would describe it. More like a
network timeout. I can describe another scenario, based on what I
originally posted:

    exten => _9737XXXX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:1}@172.17.99.5)
    exten => _9737XXXX,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:1}@172.17.99.6)

If I physically pull the netowrk plug on 172.17.99.5 Asterisk will just
sit there for about a minute before continuing to 172.17.99.6. And the
same scenario holds true for IAX instead of SIP.
