asterisk users - Jan 2007 - realtime sipusers and rtcachefriends... big headache!!

hi folks,

I am using asterisk 1.2.13 (debian etch).

My customer's sip accounts are stored in realtime sipusers.

I have enabled in sip.conf rtcachefriends=yes and ignoreregexpire=yes

Each account has nat=yes

Now, I have lot of problems.

for example, when I change the 'secret'  field of a user in the
database, it
doesn't
get reflected in Asterisk, who is still expecting the old password.

Randomly, when trying to dial SIP/xxxxx (a customer's account), especially
those behind NAT,
I get in the console the error "no route to...".

Sometimes, too, they can't even register with asterisk.

It seems to happen mostly when using realtime.

I was digging into the bug tracking system, and I see two bugs that seems to
be related,
but I can't figure how can I fix it or what step I am supposed to do. The
bugs are:

http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=4687
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=4832

So please, anything than can bring me some light on this... is very
appreciated.

As far as I know when rtcachefriends=yes database changes are unavailable to 
Asterisk until a reload is performed.
