[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk 'losing' upstream provider registrationstate during small network outages.

Some time ago (with previous releases of Asterisk) I had the same problem
with broadvoice, so I added a cron job that reloads the sip every 1 hour.
I know this is not the best solution, but at the time this seed fine.

registrationstate during small network outages.


Still looking for some help here.....
Is this problem due to asterisk, the two week old version of CVS-HEAD I'm
running?

Or is it that I simply have not configured it correctly?
Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.

I'm about to try starting all over again from scratch and do a
reinstall/recompile of the latest CVS-HEAD only to most likely find
the problem has not gone away.

Thanks!

Steve
