asterisk users - May 2005 - Connecting a peer to a dynamic ip asterisk box ???

Hi,
 I prevoiusly has asterisk on a public static ip and had a phone from
a different location registering to the asterisk box. But now we have
dropped the previous connection and the current connection has a
dynamic ip. Is there any way for the phone to register to now-dynamic
ip addressed asterisk box (using something like dyndns.org or
something).

Thanx

Yes, 

as long as the phone is happy to take something other than a strict IP
address, then a dynamic DNS provider is a good way to achive this.

Dyndns.org seems like a good choice. Just make sure you put in the
hostname in the phone configuration, not the IP address :-)

Also, when the ip changes, users will usually need to reboot their
phones. I added a mail alert that sends a heads up to users and also
some stuff to reprovision the IAXy when the ip changes (as it does NOT
do DNS).
