 Well - here's the thing. Using the code/approach in 6047, the Polycom
and other devices never get the message that appears to be the kiss of
death for the subscription to go away and not come back. Using this
approach, it's certainly true that immediately after a restart of
Asterisk (not a reload - reloads are fine now with this code) the
subscription will not work, but like registrations, subscriptions
expire and the phone will sign up again and the subscription will get
renewed and become active again after restart. Unfortunately, unlike
registrations, there's no guick/tactical way for us to keep track and
"reseed" a subscription immediately after a restart as we do with
registrations.
