Error raised during calls in asterisk server

Question

Today my asterisk could not receive calls for a while. when I checked the asterisk logs, the error below was raising during this period.

Purely numeric hostname (1002), and not a peer--rejecting!

After I restarted the asterisk the problem solved. What is the problem?

Very likly that mean your dns server was not working. Use local dns caching server or more then one dns server.

Other posible situation - you calling somethign like SIP/1234, which is not in your sip.conf.

Here is related source part, it have description:

peer = sip_find_peer(peername, NULL, TRUE, FINDPEERS, FALSE, 0);

    if (peer) {
            int res;
            if (newdialog) {
                    set_socket_transport(&dialog->socket, 0);
            }
            res = create_addr_from_peer(dialog, peer);
            dialog->relatedpeer = sip_ref_peer(peer, "create_addr: setting dialog's relatedpeer pointer");
            sip_unref_peer(peer, "create_addr: unref peer from sip_find_peer hashtab lookup");
            return res;
    } else if (ast_check_digits(peername)) {
            /* Although an IPv4 hostname *could* be represented as a 32-bit integer, it is uncommon and
             * it makes dialing SIP/${EXTEN} for a peer that isn't defined resolve to an IP that is
             * almost certainly not intended. It is much better to just reject purely numeric hostnames */
            ast_log(LOG_WARNING, "Purely numeric hostname (%s), and not a peer--rejecting!\n", peername);
            return -1;
    } else {
