[asterisk-users] IAX trunk with dynamic IPs

[Ronaldo Z. Afonso]

Hi Noah,

First of all, thanks for your help. I just want to check if I understood.
If a set the TTL for 10 seconds for host.no-ip.org and configure the 
parameter host as "host=host.no-ip.org", Asterisk will try to find the 
IP address of host.no-ip.org each 10 seconds? That is it?

Thanks again.

Ronaldo.
