asterisk users - Mar 2005 - Some IAX questions

Hi All,

I am trying to figure out how Asterisk determines which [user] an 
incoming IAX connection is for?

Is it based on their source address? (I think possible)
Is it based on their credentials (unlikely, I think, since we can set 
insecure=very)

Also, for a [peer] section - when is the host= resolved? Is name 
resolution attempted every time the channel is opened?

Thanks!
Tim

Hi,

Is this a silly question? I am trying to come up with an elegant way of 
joining a few small * servers in a peer to peer arrangement, and I am 
just curious as to what algorithm * uses to determine which channel (and 
therefore context) an inbound call belongs to (IAX and SIP)..

Also, knowing when name resolution happens would be beneficial if the 
peer * boxes had dynamic IP's and dynamic dns ...

Thanks,
Tim
