I've seen this behaviour from Asterisk as well... while I can't say I have 
tracked it down and verified this... I've seen other talks about how Asterisk 
gets rather unhappy when it can't preform DNS queries.  I suspect that may be 
your problem.   Might want to check the archives for other issues that people 
have talked about DNS as a possible cause and see if there are any 
similarities.
