asterisk users - Jul 2014 - SIP configuration in realtime static and realtime dynamic

Hi all,
I?m currently in the process of familiarizing myself with Asterisk, and am
trying to move certain configuration objects (such as SIP peers) into a MySQL
database, accessed by Asterisk using the ODBC connector.
Now, I?ve imported the sippeers MySQL table from the contrib directory of the
Asterisk source, and I could add SIP users in here. However, I currently don?t
understand whether this realtime dynamic configuration table is meant to replace
or just supplement sip.conf. This is because the sippeers table does not offer
certain fields for entries in the [general] section of my sip.conf file, such as
the ?udpbindaddr? variable.
So, am I supposed to put all that in the database by adding appropriate table
columns, or can I leave this in the sip.conf file and chan_sip.so will read both
the file and MySQL table once loaded? Also, is there anyway that I could use
templates, so that I don?t have to redefine everything for each SIP peer?
Thanks a lot for help!
Robin

Hi

It supplements it.

In fact, you can define some peers in the sip.conf and some in the MySQL
table. However, if you do add any in the sip.conf directly, you'll have to
do a sip reload which will clear your realtime cache.
