[asterisk-users] asterisk fails when DNS or internet fails

[gincantalupo]

Hi,

it is a known problem, one of the worst. To avoid it:

- do not use urls, only ip addresses in sip.conf

or put your urls inside /etc/hosts (is what I do especially sip 
providers urls)

or install a dns-cache on your pbx (maybe the best solution)
