How do you resolve the IP address of the PBX ? I hard-code (in the master 
config).

The PBX does not have a DNS name. I want my support staff to know its IP on the 
top of their head.
DNS failures do not happen often, but they do happen. Fat fingers change or 
delete the entry, the zone gets corrupted or partially corrupted, that kind of 
stuff.
There are things that redundant hardware and network will not solve. If the PBX 
address becomes unresolvable, the SIP registrations will timeout and I'm going 
to lose phones.
Granted, it would not take that much time to troubleshoot, but just the 
possibility, not matter how remote, that it could happen makes it a non-option.
If DHCP fails, I have a 169.254 secondary address. It may not be elegant, but 
it is resilient.
