Perhaps just run a local recursive dns server.

Betreff: [asterisk-users] Using dproxy to solve "no DNS hangs everything"problem?

The subject pretty much says it.

Wondering if there's anyone out there who, as an alternative to 
hard-coding IP addresses in /etc/hosts, has implemented dproxy or 
somesuch to enable Asterisk to survive DNS outages.

I had a royal mess on my hands this morning after my Internet connection 
went down for a while.  No DNS = No Anything if there are FQDNs in the 
conf files.  The server hangs, affecting the Zap stuff too, which is WAY 
bad for me.

I need to bite this particular bullet.  My POTS line was offhook all 
morning because my Internet was out, and the first call that came in 
caused everything to freeze up and the channels were all hung.

Thanks.

B.
