[asterisk-users] Improving Asterisk's DNS support

[Steven]

I could understand if it couldn't register to an ITSP or similar.

But, (I had this happen today) asterisk takes forever to start up and SIP phones can not register to it.
DNS should not need to be used for anything in asterisk except registering to VOIP providers and maybe external SQL from the 
dialplan.

If there are reverse lookups being done, I do not see the output of it.
