[asterisk-users] DNS Query Overload

I'm finding that my Asterisk server is bombarding my DNS servers with 
lookups like the following:

     Queries
         5060-b7bfce38: type A, class IN
             Name: 5060-b7bfce38
             Type: A (Host address)
             Class: IN (0x0001)

One call alone has a handful of requests to our server, simply looking 
for an A record for something like '5060-b7bfce38' (listed above).  The 
DNS server immediately responds with "No such name".

I use only SIP on my box, and even if I just have the call go to hangup 
it does this.

My SIP.conf contains 'srvlookup=no' in the general section.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Best regards,

Mik
