### Description

We send all traffic to a Homer (HEPv3) server for monitoring and SIP diagnostics, using the siptrace module. Config below:

modparam("siptrace", "duplicate_uri","sip:IP_ADDR:9060") modparam("siptrace", "hep_mode_on",1) modparam("siptrace", "trace_to_database",0) modparam("siptrace", "trace_on", 1) modparam("siptrace", "hep_version", 3) modparam("siptrace", "trace_flag",22) modparam("siptrace", "trace_mode", 1)

It works just fine of course, but the moment the Homer server goes down or needs to be rebooted, Kamailio doesn't seem to want to "reconnect" to the HEP server - It just stops reporting packets altogether. Kamailio requires a restart.

### Troubleshooting

#### Reproduction

Set up a Homer server with kamailio tracing HEP packets to it. Then, restart Homer. You will no longer receive packets, until the next time you restart Kamailio.

We're using CentOS 7 x64 on all servers. There is no log information I can provide to assist with this.

Thanks!
