Important: Is this Your Node Number?

We will be taking down the original AllStarLink server (allstarlink.org) in the near future. More on that later. For now, the following node numbers need to update their IAX registration.

If your node number is listed above, please change your registration configuration to:
register=nnnn:ppppppp@register.allstarlink.org ;where nnnn = node, ppppp=passwd

Failure to make the change will render your node unable to connect to other AllStar nodes when we decommission the server. Let us know if you need help or further information. The announcement regarding the decommissioning of old allstarlink.org server will be posted later.

In addition to above, there is another change that these nodes and possible others may need. All nodes should have a conf file named dnsmgr.conf in the /etc/asterisk directory. It should look like this:

[general]
enable=yes               ; enable creation of managed DNS lookups
                         ; default is 'no'
refreshinterval=300      ; refresh managed DNS lookups every <n> seconds
                         ; default is 300 (5 minutes)

Once you make that change, restart your node and run the command shown below. You should see the Y under dnsmgr.

*CLI> iax2 show registry 
Host                  dnsmgr  Username    Perceived             Refresh  State
162.248.93.134:4569   Y       2530        xx.xx.xx.xx:4569          60  Registered

Also see my reply to the original topic… I forgot to mention something.

It turns out that the old server does not expire registrations from phone portal use. Apparently the list of node numbers above are from just that, phone portal usage, not direct registrations with allstarlink.org. Please ignore the list of node numbers from the previous post. I’m sorry for the confusion.

Even so, it is important that all users have the dns manager configuration file installed. This allows the registration load to be distributed across the (currently) 5 registration servers.
