[asterisk-users] Asterisk freezes when DNS not working: a BUG??

[Giorgio Incantalupo]

Hi Bob,
thanks for reply.
The problem is all PBX are not in the same LAN and every customer wants 
his/her own DNS.
I think I'll use /etc/hosts but the problem still remain: Asterisk 
shouldn't freeze during reload....the registration should be located in 
another process but I think that such a change would modify too much 
Asterisk sip/iax applications and part of Asterisk architecture.
So, I know it works that way, I accept it and I try to workaround it.

Thanks
