It is not that it will ever reach it, it is that it will never reach it.

Imagine this on a dark christmas morning when you have been called in:

    sip-phone at home (I'm in the computerroom at work, rescueing a machine!)
    sip-phone at work (That means, not at my desk)
    normal phone at home (Work. Christmas. My favourites!)
    normal phone at work (But not here)
    secretary at work (yeah right, christmas remember)
    mobile phone (Bloody who is bothering me?)

I admit this is a little bit extreme, but still 6 times 45 seconds
makes 4.5 minutes.

And keep in mind that the DNS data is only for *this* incoming call,
it won't be used later anywhere anymore.
