I have 4 asterisk servers which are "Friends" and each one has an account for termination. A total of 5 peers each.<br>
<br>
Currently, the setup is as follows<br>
========iax.conf=========<br>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">[FriendName]<br>
type=friend<br>
context=server_friend<br>
secret=donttell<br>
host=<a href="http://friend.dyndns.com">friend.dyndns.com</a><br>
qualify=750<br>
</div>
=====================<br>
<br>
In the past i would also use a register => and set host=dynamic, but
the registration would often timeout, sometimes never work between two
particular servers, and didnt help maintain my peers after ip
change. So for simplicity i follow the pattern above on all the
servers, and i dont have to wonder why registration is timing out.<br>
<br>
When one of their IPs changed yesterday, that box became unreachable to
the other 4. That's annoying but expected, and I guess I'll need
to write a script to address that.<br>
<br>
Problem is that the servers also lost all its peers when its ip changed
(at least it seemed to correspond with the change), including my
provider. <br>
<br>
Reloading iax2 wouldn't fix it; restarting the server brought the
provider and one friend back; stopping, waiting, and starting
brought one more friend back; and one friend is still unreachable to it.<br>
<br>
Its important to note that the other 3 servers are doing fine with each
other, and they can see the box who's ip changed after iax2 reload.<br>
<br>
I can't help but wonder: shouldn't the box who's ip changed still be able to find its friend? <br>
<br>
also, is there a better way of going about this than what I'm currently
doing? i'm sure not everyone with a dynamic IP has this same
problem.<br>
