We have a situation where Asterisk seems to be losing it's ODBC database connection during idle periods. A workaround was to have a script connect to AMI and generate a bogus call, which would then generate a CDR and keep the connection alive. We didn't want to be generating actual network traffic for this, so I tried originating a call to 1@xxx.<br><br>Somehow, magically, Asterisk maps a bogus host name (we have no peer in our config called 'xxx') to a IP of 205.234.182.xxx (not really .xxx...just hiding the IP) and a a host name of unknown.ord.scnet.net. How does that happen? I know it's doing this because I can see the SIP INVITE to out to this address. Seems like other bogus host names also map to the same place. Time to go and grep the source for 'scnet.net'
