asterisk users - Mar 2005 - DyDNS + externip

Can i use a domain name instead of an IP address for externip
(sip.conf) Because im using dynamic dns. Not sure what i'm trying to
achieve as yet but, i want to know if it is possible?

Yes, you can, but asterisk needs to be reloaded (sip reload) when your
ip changes.

I do not see a problem there.
You just have to make sure that Asterisk box is set up with correct DNS server
address.

So is this where SER comes into play?
Letting ppl register thru SER and use asterisk behind it.
