[asterisk-users] Long Delay after sip reload command

[Christopher Gray]

Hello:

I am experiencing long delays, minutes not seconds, after issuing sip reload or 
/etc/init.d/asterisk restart commands.  When reloading Asterisk, for the first 
minute or more, sip show registry says there is no such command.

When sip show registry begins to provide information, registration can take 
another 3-4 minutes.  Sometimes, timeouts occur as well, and sometimes these 
timeouts are never resolved.  sip.conf has three register commands:  two to 
different SIP carriers, vitelity and voicepulse; and one to another computer 
domain address.

Any thoughts on what I should do to begin resolving this?  I'm relatively new to 
Asterisk, running Version 1.4 on Ubuntu Linux.

Thank you.

Chris
