Hi,
it's an understandable point of view.
My need is to be able to start/restart kamailio even if
redis is just temporarily unavailable, and manage the
"connection refused" errors accordingly. I have a failover
strategy for those cases, but want to keep processing calls.
When redis then returns available, kamailio will connect
correctly. It's really an edge case, but I feel safer.
Configurations that depend more strongly on redis being
available should not use this optional configuration item,
keeping the current behaviour.
Cheers,
Giacomo
