asterisk users - Oct 2006 - Why does it take at least 4 flipping days before asterisk tries to resolve a provider?

After a reboot, asterisk is usually too much in a hurry to try and resolve 
my iax/sip providers.

Asterisk starts before the internet connection is up and dns is working.

Then asterisk just waits, and waits and waits and waits even longer before 
ever trying to revolve any voip provider again.

And all this time calls are flowing out through the very expensive PSTN.

And then people say nightly asterisk restarts are not a good idea....

Why is your asterisk startup script running before networking has been 
setup? Asterisk has the same networking dependencies as apache, so I 
start it around the same time using the same priority as apache and as 
far as I know networking should work at that time or not at all, not 
somewhere in between.
