Dear list

Im quite new to Kamailio and i found something while trying to see the failover behaviour in Kamailio. I have a kamailio v4.3.5 load balancing two Asterisk boxes.

This happens just when i stop one of the asterisk and make a call that is being load balanced to the same asterisk box that i stopped before, when trying to go to failure_route and dispatch it to the other box then Kamailio just crashes. I have debug=4 in the config file and it really doesnt say much about the error. This is the relative logging i could found:

My configuration when applying load balancing and failover is detailed here:

# Send to Asterisk
route[TOASTERISK] {
#!ifdef WITH_LOADBALANCE
        xlog("L_INFO","UBICAR: Forwarding non-registrar requests to Asterisk \n");
        if(!ds_select_dst("0", "10")) {
                sl_send_reply("500", "Service Unavailable");
                xlog("L_ERROR","UBICAR: No destinations available for $rd \n");
                exit;
        }
        xlog("L_INFO","UBICAR: Dispatching to Asterisk Box $du\n");
        t_set_fr(0,4000);
        t_on_failure("MANAGE_FAILURE");
        route(RELAY);
        exit;
#!endif

# manage failure routing cases
failure_route[MANAGE_FAILURE] {
#xlog("L_ALERT","UBICAR: failure requestm=$rm requesturi=$ru callid=$ci\n");
if (t_is_canceled()) {
exit;
}

#!ifdef WITH_LOADBALANCE
        xlog("L_ALERT","UBICAR: Asterisk $du failed to answer, selecting other one!");
        # next DST - only for 500 reply or local timeout (set by t_set_fr())
        if (t_check_status("500") || t_branch_timeout() || !t_branch_replied())
        {
                #we mark the destination Inactive and Probing
                ds_mark_dst("ip");
                #select the new destination
                if(ds_next_dst())
                {
                        t_set_fr(0,4000);
                        t_on_failure("MANAGE_FAILURE");
                        xlog("L_INFO","UBICAR: Dispatching to Asterisk Box $du\n");
                        route(RELAY);
                        exit;
                }else{
                        #last available node failed to reply, no other destinations available
                        send_reply("404", "No destination");
                        exit;
                }
#!endif
        }
}

It may be a bug in that Kamailio version because i used Kamailio v4.2 before and i didnt have that inconvenient, still i had to upgrade to v4.3 because i needed the default_socket modparam that wasnt implemented in Kamailio v4.2

Any hint about this issue would be appreciate it

Best Regards

Alejandro
