Hello 

I would start by looking at the logs when that happens. The gateway would only get marked "ip" when there is no reply by the gateway or when it replies with 500. Also OPTIONs not being replied promptly.
Maybe add some logging right before ds_mark_dst("ip").

Hope that helps,

Hello,

Using Kamailio 5.1.6 for load balancing & failover, 
I noticed that from time to time, and very rarely, the dispatcher module stops dispatching to the Asterisk servers. 
I have to execute a "kamcmd dispatcher reload" for it to (re)start working.

This is my dispatcher.list :
1 sip:10.19.XXX.YYY:5060 0 1 duid=sipgw01;maxload=100
1 sip:10.19.XXX.YYY:5060 0 2 duid=sipgw02;maxload=100
1 sip:10.19.XXX.YYY:5060 0 3 duid=sipgw03;maxload=100
1 sip:10.19.XXX.YYY:5060 0 4 duid=sipgw04;maxload=100

This is my dispatch routes:
# Dispatch requests
route[DISPATCH] {
        
        if(!ds_select_dst("1", "10","4"))
        {
                xlog("L_INFO","no destination selected from dispatcher list!");
                send_reply("404", "No destination");
                exit;
        }

        xlog("L_INFO","going to <$ru> via <$du>\n");

        t_on_failure("RTF_DISPATCH");
        route(RELAY);

        exit;

}

# Sample failure route
failure_route[RTF_DISPATCH] {
        if (t_is_canceled()) {
                exit;
        }
        xlog("L_INFO", "Media server $du failed to answer, selecting other one!");
        # next DST - only for 500 or local timeout
        if ( t_check_status("500") || (t_branch_timeout() && !t_branch_replied()) )
        {
                #mark the destination Inactive and Probing
                ds_mark_dst("ip");
                if(ds_next_dst())
                {
                        t_on_failure("RTF_DISPATCH");
                        route(RELAY);
                        exit;
                }
        }
}

I suspect that the ds_mark_dst("ip") command in RTF_DISPACTH is the cause. 
Is there any think I can improve on this? Or any know bug with the dispatcher in Kamailio 5.1.6 version?

Thanks in advance,

Sérgio Charrua
