Bogdan,
Thanks for the reply.
Will this work:
here are some examples of how to uses this new functionality:
1) enum doing serial forking:
{
.....
enum_query("e164.arpa.","voice");
serialize_branches(1);
if (!next_branches()) {
sl_send_reply(...no enum found...);
exit;
}
t_on_failure("1");
t_relay();
}
failure_route[1] {
if (next_branches()) {
t_relay();
}
}
I haven't tried it yet. But I think it is an example
of serial forking using naptrs.
Have a great weekend!

Hi Greg,
at the moment there is no retry support for neither NAPTR nor SRV.
The resolver loops through all NAPTR/SRV records and looks for the
first NAPTR|SRV|A pair of records that can be successfully resolved
to IP address.
The biggest problem with having retry support for the resolve is
the combination between parallel and serial forking. Lets supposed
the following scenario:
uriA parallel forks to uriX and uriY
both uriX and uriY leads to distinctive sets of NAPTR/SRV records.
in such a case, even if it's a single transaction, you have to keep
the state of the resolver for each branch to be able to do serial
forking independently on each of them.
Another problem is detecting the failures. According to "4.3
Details of RFC 2782 Process" specifies usage on ICMP for UDP
failures...and ICMP support is not reliable (depends on OS) and
tricky to implement.
Do not get me wrong, I am not saying it's impossible, but it will
take some time to get to it... :)
regards,
Bogdan

Bogdan,
This is great news! Thank you! I've got
a questions about retries.
I'm curious if retries are built in, or do I employ t_on_failure?
What I mean is...
How do I get the t_relay() to try subsequent naptrs and/or srvs in
the
event the current one fails? Is all of that automatic, or do I need
a t_on_failure?
I think I understand that you skip ones that don't resolve, but,
what if
they resolve but the transaction times out either on the naptr or
on the srv?
Best,
