I updated 2 weeks ago and am due to update again... So Yes I will update....
It seems that the giving up forever feature is by design, As I had seen a post about it awhile back... But I would rather not have asterisk give up (forever) if it can't see a sip server. I feel retries should certainly back off.... in fact back way off like to once per some configurable time figure.... But not give up forever! In a single (non-redundant) phone system one wants it to come back and register back in unattended even if the Internet were down for several hours. :-) Actually I just needed the two settings that were mentioned previously... Not sure if the mentioned bug was of our concern, as my problem was not just with the fact that it timed out fast, but the fact that it could time out period and never try to re-register. I also would like to know where I could have found documentation of those two settings (registertimeout" or "registerattempts") As I had not been able to find those on my own or in the wiki. Thanks!
