Hello,
could you observe similar behavior on other dispatchers that don't use an external system tomanage activation and deactivation of the gateways? Or you haven't checked such one so far?
Cheers, Daniel

Hi,
I've got a proxy that does very basic round-robin distribution of calls to an elastic pool of servers, defined in a simple SQLite database with equal priorities. Nothing too complicated, just a vanilla `ds_select_domain("1", "4")`.
The only complication is that seldom are most of the gateways enabled. Probing stuff was turned on, but didn't do quite what was desired, so it was replaced with a system that manages activation and deactivation of the gateways externally. Nevertheless, these are the left-over probing settings:
modparam("dispatcher", "ds_ping_method", "OPTIONS") modparam("dispatcher", "ds_ping_from", "sip:pinger@domain") modparam("dispatcher", "ds_ping_interval", 15) modparam("dispatcher", "ds_probing_threshold", 256) modparam("dispatcher", "ds_inactive_threshold", 1) modparam("dispatcher", "ds_probing_mode", 0)
After an upgrade from 5.1 to 5.2.3 (009f62), the round-robin has become extremely "sticky" and tendentious. That is to say, it directs _almost_ all calls to a single gateway -- the first gateway in the table -- though not 100%. There is also a marked tendency to send lots of consecutive calls to the same gateway, even if it's not the first one, though most of the time it is.
Has anyone experienced similar upon upgrading to 5.2?
Thanks much!
