Umm....what? Once the sip is connected it will stay up and connected. If a sip phone is connecting back to the sip server more than 5 times in 5 minutes you have some serious issues going on. 2009/4/2 Paul D. Robertson <paul () compuwar net>:

That is at least how i solved the problem you face.That doesn't solve the problem any better than pure IP address space restrictions and sometimes makes it worse.
