As a follow up question . Do we have a mechanism by which a SER proxy can get/pull information from another SER proxy about clients registered. Here is a scenario.

I have deployed a SER proxy - "PROXY-A"  to which a very large number of users are registered. I need to bring down PROXY-A for maintenance and replace it with PROXY-B but donot want the users to register again. Is there some way by which PROXY-B can pull the info out of PROXY-A so that the customers donot see this transition.

  Is it possible for a SER Proxy to fwd all the learnt registration information to a backend central registrar.  If any call needs to be routed (eg: an invite message being received)  the proxy can lookup the central registrar and route the call .

thanks,
sandeep

Hi,
     I had posted this query to the SIP implementors mailing list . So for those who have not read this  let me summarise the problem.

"I wanted to know if there is a mechanism where registration information could be shared among SIP proxies.wrt to SER . This is helpful in a farm that is being loadbalanced.

The topology is a vserver that has two SER proxies S1 and S2  on UDP.

A client 'A' sends a register request to the loadbalancer vip/vserver  and the  load balancer chooses a service S1 tied on the vip/vserver . The client is registered at the server  S1. Now a new call comes for this client, hits the vip   and the call  hashes to the other service S2 bound to the vip. If S1 and S2 are not sharing the same DB or are not talking to the same registrar we will have a problem. "

    As a solution Dale R. Worley from pingtel suggested that A SIP registrar can actively duplicate its information into another SIP
registrar by doing third-party REGISTERs to it
.

  So my question is how do I set up this third party Registration mechanism  in SER so that a client registers with one proxy and inturn the proxy transfers this registration info to other participating proxies? 

thanks,
sandeep
