[asterisk-users] Registrations, how many is too many?

[voiplist]

We do not use dyndns for anything, not sure what we would even use it for.

We do have lots of hostnames to different systems in our sip.conf, I
have changed them all to IP to see if this helps.

So, you think that maybe when DNS gets hosed up that it could cause
SIP to just tank on a high volume system?
