Hi James,

This should have worked - can you confirm if you are on the latest stable for 1.2?

If so, can you please re-open the JIRA ticket mentioned above with as much info as possible?

Thanks

Cal

Cal, thanks for your reply.

I've added {sip_gethostbyname=true} to the dialplan i.e.:

<action application="bridge" data="{sip_gethostbyname=true}sofia/gateway/gw/+$1"/> but am still getting the same error. If in my gateway definition I use the IP in lieu of the FQDN it works.

This should work ok in the bridge application correct?

If all else fails I can look at setting up a local DNS server.

Thanks

James

You are lucky, I raised this as a bug a few months ago :)

http://jira.freeswitch.org/browse/FS-5396

Use the following on the dialstring to force /etc/hosts to be used;

{sip_gethostbyname=true}

Hope this helps

Hi FS user group, 

can anyone suggest any help with this problem. A provider with whom I am integrating with requires that we use their domain name in INVITEs on numbers they host on their end. Normally this is not a problem - I would just set that up in the gateway config with proxy="FQDN" etc however the domain name they are using does not resolve to an IP address

I have added an entry in /etc/hosts for the FQDN and can ping it from my command line however FS outbound calls via the gateway are failing with 

nua_stack.c:271 nua_stack_event() nua(0x7fcc040023f0): event r_invite 503 DNS Error

is there any way I can get around this without creating a fake DNS zone as I have seen some people suggest? I ask as I don't have a local DNS server.

I am using the stable 1.2 build (Version 1.2.12) on Ubunutu 12.04

Thanks in advance.

James
