I have experienced this issue with a provider with Asterisk 1.2, 1.6 & 1.8.
I never got to the root cause of the problem however it used to occur
quite frequently, now it appear to occur once every month or two -
haven't seen it occur for a while now but then I have been incrementally
updating my version of asterisk, currently 1.8.11.0
The preceding events I observed was that there would be a timeout
communicating with the peer followed by retry attempts and finally a
message reporting "Wrong password", this is the point at which
registration attempts stopped despite the value in sip.conf being set to 0.
As per your observations a 'sip reload' gets things going again.
When the problem was occurring within a 24-hour period I set up an
SPA-942 phone to register to the service and captured packets between
them, I don't recall seeing any issues over a period of a few days with
the SPA phone hence was baffled by this phenomenon and have been since.
I was considering writing a script to check for the "No Authentications"
status and to then issue a 'sip reload' but as the problem is rarely
seen now I haven't had to do this.
My suspicion to the cause of the problem is that the authentication
database at the VSP may have been offline momentarily hence why the
response of a wrong password, I wasn't convinced of this as the packet
capture of the SPA-942 did not reveal any authentication errors.
Cheers,
Larry.

The odd part about this: doing sip reload on the main site made it all
work. Nothing else was changed.
Main site:
sip show registry

How do I/can I set the main site to retry a registration? I've now
changed sip.conf to add:
registertimeout=20
registerattempts=0 ;Default is 0 tries, continue forever
But these are the defaults anyhow!
Thanks,
sean
Thanks for confirming this occurring.
If it happens again I'll file a bug, but it's really hard to track down
something so sporadic.
