[Freeswitch-users] Gateway registration issue, can only be solved through "killgw"

[Roman_]

I do not have any traces from that time.

Just now I briefly tried to reproduce the problem by blocking replies from
the gateway using iptables, and I did get the "Request Timeout (408)" when
FS tried to re-new the registration. I then opened the firewall again, but
FS immediately succeeded in registering again after the 60 second delay had
passed. So it seems that the problem is not easily reproducible or maybe
some other factors were also involved.

Thanks for the help.
