[Asterisk-Users] Zombie SIP channels

[Pedro]

Thanks for the feedback!

Running CVS-v1-0-11/12/04 (stable) on Fedora Core 1 with Cisco
7960G's.  Asterisk server is on public IP and Cisco 7960G is at client
location NAT-ed behind a Cisco soho91-k9 with nine other Cisco 7960G's
(each phone has registration expiring every 120 seconds).

Here is excerpt from sip.conf

[general]
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
port=5060  
context=incoming 
maxexpirey=3600
defaultexpirey=300
canreinvite=no
tos=reliability
srvlookup=yes
videosupport=no
dtmfmode=inband
nat=yes
insecure=very

[frontdesk]
context=customer
type=friend
username=frontdesk
secret=password
host=dynamic
canreinvite=no
mailbox=100 at customer
nat=yes
qualify=yes
callerid="Front Desk" <100>
accountcode=customer
amaflags=billing

This is the first time I have seen this so it does not appear to
happen too often.  Obviously would rather not upgrade if possible has
everything seems running fine.  But good to know that if it becomes a
problem, I can try upgrading to 1.0.3 or later.

Thanks!

Pedro
