asterisk users - Feb 2008 - DDNS and host: updating when destination IP changes

Hi All;

I am using IAX Trunk and I used ddns (dyndns.org) with
the host (host=xyz.dyndns.org), when I restart the
router who has the hostname xyz.dyndns.org then its IP
address change and updated, but at asterisk level
still it keeps sending for the old IP address and
sometimes this problem does not resolve until I
restart asterisk.

Any one faced this and has idea how to resolve it so
Asterisk can check the new IP address for the
host=xyz.dyndns.org each call?

Any help?
Regards
Bilal

Just as a silly one, try 'asterisk -rx "iax2 reload"'. I'm
not sure if it'll
work or not, but it should force a recheck of the hostname.

OK that worked, but how can we resolve it without need
to type the command manually, as the destination might
change its IP address without our notice, so the
question is:

How can the host be updated periodically (like
externrefresh settings), but need it for host, any
help?

If you set up that host as a dynamic peer, it should work automatically.
Also, use the dns name rather than the IP
Enable dns in dnsmgr.conf

These should do it.
