Even when your connection to Internet is lost, doesn't mean there can not be a valid dns server. I would recommend to run bind on your asterisk machine to resolve all addresses that your asterisk server and/or phones need. If that machine goes down, your phones can not call anyway ;-) Same for doing DHCP for handing out addresses to your phones... -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
