Yes, that is the case. Asterisk doesn't have asynchronus DNS support, so in order to work when the link is down, you need a local resolver, like a caching BIND server, on the same host. The calls to DNS resolvers in Asterisk is synchronus, so Asterisk will wait for the response to arrive. I've applied for funding to fix this for a few years, but it hasn't really gotten the attention from anyone with resources needed. There are several libraries out there we could use. Resiprocate use the c-ares library, originally from curl. If anyone wants to add this code, contributions are always welcome. /O -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
