Would it be feasible to look into implementing a way to preserve SIP (and possibly other protocols') registrations during a scheduled or otherwise requested restart of asterisk? I am thinking somewhat along the lines that the SIP registration has a certain duration during which it is valid that is in some ways akin to a dhcp lease. In most cases, I would think that a momentary outage by restarting the asterisk server would not affect registrations by SIP devices.
Asterisk could either maintain constantly or write on demand (ie immediately before a requested restart) a cache file of SIP registrations and their expiry times that is read in on startup. Remote (dynamic ip) phones would not have to wait to re-register in order to immediately receive calls. Perhaps the issues surrounding sip registration internally to asterisk are more complicated, and this cannot be solved by a simple cache of sorts, but the idea is out here anyway..
