Alfredo,

In a production system, you *shouldnt* have to change the main profiles at
all.
When adding / removing gateways, you can use 'sofia profile [profilename]
rescan',
that will not drop calls, only if you run 'reload'.

As far as why the rescan adds the alias but doesnt remove it, I would say
that is by design.
That way you cant 'break' anything if your dialplan is using that alias.
But someone more
experienced than me may have a better / more accurate answer.
