Re: [reSIProcate] DNS not returning entries after 408?

This is happening because the stack is blacklisting the tuple that your server was running on, because it didn't respond. This blacklist (currently) lasts 32s. I was thinking about making this duration configurable. Does anyone want to have a discussion about whether blacklisting on a UDP timeout is something we want to be doing? It seems to me that we might need to have a concept of "greylisting", where greylisted tuples will only be used if they are all that remains to be tried. (This is opposed to a blacklisted tuple, which we should never try, since chances are we have been explicitly told, with a 503, to leave the tuple alone for a while.) Any thoughts? (anyone?)

Hi,

 

I’m using the latest code from SVN (updated today), and I’ve encountered an issue with DNS in the following case:

 

Client                                          Registrar

      REGISTER (due to user login)------------->

      <---------------------------------- 200 OK

 

(at this point the Registrar becomes unavailable – its IP is still reachable, but nothing is listening on UDP port 5060)

 

      re-REGISTER (due to Expires timer)------->

 

(~ 30 seconds go by and then I get a 408 from DUM)

(client sits idle for ~ 30 seconds more)

 

      REGISTER -------------------------------->

 

(Get a 503 Service Unavailable immediately from DUM)

(sit idle for any amount of time)

 

      REGISTER -------------------------------->

      <---------------------------------- 200 OK

 

 

My client is set up to use only UDP as a transport.  I’m using DUM.  I’ve looked at the logs, and it seems the reason I’m getting the 503 is that there aren’t any DNS entries for my registrar: “Ran out of dns entries for 192.168.1.172. Send 503”.  But this doesn’t make sense, as there definitely should be entries (and since I can register if I try once again after I get the 503).

 

If I go back to an older revision (6609 which is from back in September), I don’t have this issue – i.e. I don’t get the 503, my last REGISTER actually goes out on the wire and I get my expected 200 OK.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,
