[Asterisk-Users] Connecting to a cluster of SIP servers

[Steve Hill]

My Asterisk server is connecting to "sip.plus.net", which resolves to 
multiple IP addresses:

     sip.plus.net.           300     IN      A       84.92.0.75
     sip.plus.net.           300     IN      A       84.92.0.76
     sip.plus.net.           300     IN      A       84.92.5.189
     sip.plus.net.           300     IN      A       84.92.5.190

If one of these machines is down (i.e. it's not replying to the SIP 
packets or it's sending back ICMP Port Unreachable), Asterisk keeps trying 
the same server. Shouldn't Asterisk move on to the next server 
automatically in this case? It seems to only way to do this at the moment 
is to run the "reload" command, which causes it to do a DNS lookup and it 
may then pick one of the other servers.
