[OpenSIPS-Users] opensips 2.4.7 - Dispatcher ds_is_in_list() DNS resolution

[solarmon]

Hi Livui,

OK, understood that a DNS lookup is done at reload/restart, and the IP is
cached. This makes sense in that ds_is_in_list() matches to the IP address
that has been cached.

The problem is that when you list/dump the dispatcher database it is still
showing the DNS address, and not the resolved IP address. You could
obviously get into the situation where the DNS has been changed, but it is
still using the old IP address.

Obviously, the workaround is to get the dispatcher module is issued with a
reload. However, what is the impact on active sessions/dialogs when
dispatcher is reloaded? Can this be done without impacting active
sessions/dialogs?

Thanks.
