Description:	There doesn't appear to be any documentation on Asterisk's DNS manager except for the sample dnsmgr.conf, which is very sparse: {noformat} [general] ;enable=yes             ; enable creation of managed DNS lookups                        ;   default is 'no' ;refreshinterval=1200   ; refresh managed DNS lookups every <n> seconds                        ;   default is 300 (5 minutes) {noformat} It would be nice to have a little more information in the sample file, plus a wiki page (or pages) that describe the DNS manager, common use scenarios, limitations, how channel drivers make use of it, what channel drivers make use of it, options related to the DNS manager in the channel driver config files, etc. For lack of a better place to put the note; it appears that for chan_iax2, for registrations, the DNS manager is used as long as it is enabled and a hostname is configured for the destination of the registration. There is a "dnsmgr" column displaying the use status in the output of "iax2 show registry".
