thanks,

it is good see there is a wayto start with -A... and it might make it easier a little (cause i use the define as the group the server belongs to).

but, it doesn't help me fully in my case.

i would like to have a generic start, and generic cfg file (it is much easier when you need to maintain).

the best thing i would like to do is something like that:

let say i have "route on start" or "get data from DB on start"... then, i set something like:

get "myself"

from list of kamailio servers"

and set my group to "the value set on me"

it seems to me something very usefull, when you use 2 and more kamailio at different sites, and still want a generic code and functions.

if i was a programer... i might try to write some module :-)

thanks anyway,

Uri

Hello,

you can use defines to control the order (the values of NP servers), here is an example of defining NP servers (to str value, for sake of explanation):

#!ifdef SRV1
#!define NPSRV1 "abc"
#!define NPSRV2 "xyz"
#!else
#!define NPSRV2 "abc"
#!define NPSRV1 "xyz"
#!endif

and start kamailio with parameter '-A SRV1' for the first instance.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi again...
(i do find myself ask many questions these days.... :-))

well, now here is one more:

i have 2 kamailio servers that i use in 2 locations. both use the same
tables and DBURL.
each of my server turns to a number portability (NP) server at its same
location.
for example, if server 1 has the call, it will turn to NP server 1 with the
query, and if the query fails, it will then turn to NP server 2.
the kamailio server 2 does the same. but, turns to NP server 2 first and if
it fails, to NP server 1.

once this is understood....

here is my issue - i want to have 1 generic cfg file for my 2 servers.
today, i use the same cfg file, but in server 1 i set it in the cfg to its
group, and on server 2 the same but a different group....

i tried to understand how do i get each server to "pull" its group from the
DB. something like "what is my group when my IP is X.Y.Z.Q ?
i raed the cfg_db module but didn't understand how to set it on my cfg file
and on the DB.

what is the best way to do what i want?
hope i was clear....

BR,
thanks to all the guys that help me so far, i appriciate it a lot!
Uri
