[Blink] Blink Ubuntu DNS lookup deadlock?

Hi

thank you for your replies.

I'm a bit more familiar with DNS than with VOIP... If I get it right the 
NAPTR is optional and SIP should work without it.

CNAME can always be a reply to a DNS lookup, it just means: The name you 
are looking for is an alias, i.e. guest1.voipgateway.org is a virtual 
domain. IMHO Blink does the right thing and sends a second request for 
ws1.voipgateway.org.

But for ws1.voipgateway.org there's a NAPTR either. The SOA reply only 
means that this an authoritative answer.

IMHO the problem comes with the second DNS reply which contains only a 
SOA. Blink seams not to handle this and runs into a timeout.

Strangely enough the whole issue doesn't always appear and all works 
fine sometimes. Then I get the same log lines like Timen de Mes:

2022-11-30 15:35:49.340913 [blink 2]: DNS lookup NAPTR 
guest1.voipgateway.org failed: DNS response contains no answer
2022-11-30 15:35:49.405083 [blink 2]: DNS lookup SRV 
_sip._udp.guest1.voipgateway.org failed: DNS record does not exist
2022-11-30 15:35:49.463001 [blink 2]: DNS lookup SRV 
_sip._tcp.guest1.voipgateway.org failed: DNS record does not exist
2022-11-30 15:35:59.932458 [blink 2]: DNS lookup SRV 
_sips._tcp.guest1.voipgateway.org failed: DNS record does not exist
2022-11-30 15:35:59.960770 [blink 2]: DNS lookup A 
guest1.voipgateway.org succeeded, ttl=3600: 212.117.203.57

Best regards
