If your recursive DNS server returns errors quickly rather than actually
trying to look up the names, Asterisk works fine.

It is not a particularly nice workaround, but it does work... As long as
Asterisk does not actually NEED the DNS information, but that can be
most worked around with static configuration of IP addresses in sip.conf.
