For the channel driver chan_sip, you specify externhost=example.com in sip.conf
when your Asterisk is behind a NAT and your IP address is assigned dynamically.
Or stated differently: You do not have a static IP address to use "externaddr"
directly. This NAT support is quite handy but just about IPv4. Previously,
Asterisk resolved "externhost" to any IP version. When the first DNS answer
resolved to an IPv6, Asterisk sent an IPv6 in SIP/SDP for origin (o=) and
connection (c=). This happened in outgoing SIP-REGISTER and while answering
SIP-INVITE. If the remote peer is IPv4-only, it might not handle o=/c= with an
IPv6. This change makes sure, no IPv6 is resolved anymore for "externhost".
