As I said to Warren, according to the tests that I was doing, apparently
this can be solved with both externip and externhost,restarting Asterisk
in either cases.

In the case of externhost we would be saving ourselves to have to modify
the IP in sip.conf every time, but even so we would have to verify if
the IP has changed for restarting Asterisk.

I thought that perhaps this could be solved without restarting Asterisk.

Thanks for your reply.
