Asterisk gets very upset if it can't lookup the host name associated
with every IP on the system, normally it would use DNS to do this, but
since your Internet connection was down it could not do that.

So to clarify, it not only needs to resolve FQDN's, but do reverse lookups
on ip's as well? I am not sure I noticed this, as the external dns provider
it was using would have no reverse lookup zones for the internal clients?

On an additional note, I have not been able to get onsite yet, but the ISP repaired
the physical link and the system started working but the inbound sip provider rang
busy until I ssh'ed in and did a reload from the asterisk console? I thought the
system would re register any connections define with a "register =>" every {n} seconds
on its own? Is there something I can do to force what a reload did automatically so if the link disappears it repairs itself on its own?

Thanks!

The external DNS server would immediately return with a not found
message. Without internet access you'll have to wait for the timeouts, etc.
