[asterisk-users] Asterisk unresponsive

[Ujjval Karihaloo]

Thx for all the responses. Really appreciate it.

I will try putting the FQDN toIP address mapping in the /etc/hosts file to see if that makes a difference.

I will also setup a cron to restart it every day...

Good call! I was just reading this thread and was preparing to write a
reply mentioning DNS and SIP channel "lockups"...

Basically, OP, Asterisk's SIP channels don't like not being able to do
timely DNS queries, so you end up with a very unresponsive Asterisk
server if you don't have local DNS caching [and][or] solid fast DNS
servers available to you 24-7


I've been exactly where you are now, trust me, at first those
"lockups" were causing me to lose sleep and think I was NUTS!

Here's a helpful search:
