asterisk users - Aug 2006 - SIP-NAT failure on dynamic IP

We have a client running Asterisk using a dynamic IP.  When the IP lease is
renewed to a different address, their SIP connections to external clients
fail (one way audio).  
 
A simple asterisk restart fixes the problem, but they can't count on an
admin always available.  Is there way in sip.conf or other to eliminate the
dependence on a particular IP?  (for clients behind NAT)?
 
Thanks,
MD

Look at the externhost= setting in sip.conf. That's where you set a  
dyndns hostname that will be
refreshed regurlarly by Asterisk as you change the IP.
