[asterisk-users] Asterisk semi-hangs

[Grey Man]

The main thing I have noticed over the years that causes temporary
asterisk hangs is the DNS server asterisk is trying to use becoming
inaccessible. If a network issue causes Asterisk to be unable to
connect to the DNS server you will get the classic freeze on the
console and then when the DNS server is accessible again a flood of
messages. This could be your problem although if the console never
comes back perhaps not.

Hopefully 1.6 will be able to cope better with an unresponsive DNS and
at the very least be able to continue running and carry out any tasks
that aren't related to DNS lookups.

Regards,

Greyman.
