Hi Mindaugas,

well, unfortunately there is no way how to add "register" entries in
realtime. Main problem behind this is that those entries are read on
asterisk startup and if You would want to add some peer dynamically,
Asterisk would need to get notified about this.

Only solution that could work is generating "register =>" entries from
database by custom script in "#exec" (i suppose You have to enable
execincludes in asterisk.conf). So, upon start or reload of chan_sip
asterisk will execute your script, which would return correct
providers. So, after adding provider dynamically, You would need to
reload chan_sip.

If you would be interested in developing some kind of mechanism to
allow reading "register" entries from realtime, I could assist You in
some way, as this would be useful to me too, but specification of this
should be first discussed within asterisk-dev.

Regards,
Atis
