[Freeswitch-users] Internal Sofia profile fails to load if STUN fails

I spoke too soon. :( 

If the stun lookup fails, the profile defaults to the internal address,
so running this periodically could result in intermittant failures. I
might have a crack at a script - 

1. Query the status of the profile 

2. Check if the IP is RFC1918 

Yes: Start the profile 

No: Do nothing

That's pretty much what I was hoping for, so setting up a cron job should do the trick.
