[arm-allstar] Connecting to node 29332

[David McGough]

Hi Gerry,

Yes, the most recent versions of the HamVoIP release do use the DNS lookup 
method. To test the lookups, from a bash prompt (admin menu option #9), 
use this command:


[root at Allstar-kb4fxc ~]# dns-query 29332
+OK|radio at 69.178.108.173:4569/29332,69.178.108.173



Or from the Asterisk CLI:

Allstar-kb4fxc*CLI> rpt lookup 29332
Node:  2288, Method:   DNS, Actual:   DNS, Data: radio at 69.178.108.173:4569/29332,69.178.108.173
Node:  2289, Method:   DNS, Actual:   DNS, Data: radio at 69.178.108.173:4569/29332,69.178.108.173


Also, confirm that you node is properly registered using the check_reg.sh 
command from a bash prompt (admin menu option #9), like:

[root at kb4fxc-portable asterisk]# check_reg.sh 

Node - 41331 at IP address- 12.17.29.6, Port- 4569 is "Registered" at Server
IP- 44.98.254.145 (145.PTR.allstarlink.org. register-tpa.allstarlink.org.), Port- 4569

 DNS lookup returns - +OK|radio at 12.17.29.6:4569/41331,12.17.29.6

Node - allstar/41331#4569 at IP address- 12.17.29.6, Port- 4569 is "Registered" at Server
IP- 74.91.126.182 (hvdallas2.hamvoip.org.), Port- 4569

 DNS lookup returns - +OK|radio at 12.17.29.6:4569/41331,12.17.29.6


Please try these commands and report back.


73, David KB4FXC
