I have used Asterisk for a while now, and it generally is a fantastic system. Kudos to everyone who works on it. But I have a problem:
Every so often, my Asterisk box disconnects and will not re-connect until I reboot the computer. The log always shows the same pattern:

… ad infinitum
I have talked to flowroute, and they had me switch to IP connection (i.e., through my permanent IP address), but the problem persists. At some point I thought a router was failing, but a replacement did noting. My Asterisk box sits behind a comcast modem and a Netgear Firewall.
This happened for a while and my solution was to reboot the Asterisk box automatically every morning at 4 am. That seemed to work for a while, but now the frequency of this problem seems to have increased and the system often connects during the day. And nothing tells me that it has connected, until I try to call out and can’t get through. Not a good solution as I am missing all incoming calls.
So, I am back trying to diagnose and fix the problem, rather than using a reboot bandaid. Does anybody have a suggestion?
I am a bit puzzled about the Flowroute IP registration, and why I still get this error message:
[2018-03-27 12:43:05] ERROR[2265] netsock2.c: getaddrinfo(“sip.flowroute.com”, “(null)”, …): Temporary failure in name resolution
Do I have to tell Asterisk that I am not using a normal SIP registration anymore? I am also puzzled why the name resolution would not work? There are no dropouts in my Internet connectivity, and I have set 3 different nameservers on the computer (2 of them google).
So, I am really stumped. Any help would be welcome…
