Hi,

The SER version was updated, but only in the trunk of openimscore, and i had a working copy of a branch (with the old SER version) .
Now, i have checked out the trunk and i will test it soon.

Thanks,
Mário Ferreira

It looks like SER is compiled with all compilation flags for DNS failover... are these features set in the config file?
I guess you're using openIMS SER branch, isn't it? I don't know if it has been sync with latest SER 2.0 and I can not assure whether ser 0.10.99-dev53-tm_fixes has SRV failover support (which I think it does althought with maybe some bugs).

From the dig output I guess you're trying to load balance between the two servers responding for scscf.open-ims.test, isn't it?
Can you please attach the log file section where SER is trying to send to this destination?

Thanks,
Samuel

I have tried DNS failover and can assert is working like charm for SER version 2.0 and further.
Which SER version are you using?

can you check wheter you have compiled SER with DNS failover?
 which is the ouput of
            #ser -V
what is the ouput of
            #dig NAPTR yourdomain.name.com
(replace yourdomain.name.com for the appropriate valie)

Hi,

I am interested in using SER DNS failover, but I am getting some problems.

A failure can be a 503 error response, ICMP errors or a timeout due to a not received response.

Does anyone know if SER is able to detect these failures and then select an alternative destination for the message?

If the ICMP errors can't be detected, can this be solved with timers?

I turned on use_dns_cache and use_dns_failover, but when the message fails to be delivered to the first destination,
 SER never tries the second destination, which was configured with DNS SRV.


regards,

Mário Ferreira
