Greetings..
I'm fairly new to Kamailio, and am having fun so far...
I'm using the latest 4.3 rpm version on Centos 7.
I'm using Kamailio to front end a pair of FreeSwitch SBC
boxes in an active/active config.. My plan is to use
dispatcher to load balance calls between them. This is
working fine.. the problem that I'm bumping into is that the
gateway probing options in dispatcher seem not to fit my use
case..
In addition to the two SBC gateways, I also have a few
external gateways that I want to load balance between also
using dispatcher. The problem is that I can't send options
packets to these gateways -- they don't respond to them. This
means I can't just configure dispatcher to probe all gateways
(probing_method=1) because it will mark these gateways as
inactive..
It looks like every other configuration of probing_method
only probes a gateway until the state is determined, and then
it stops probing. probing_method=2 does not appear to be used
at all in the code..
Am I doing this wrong? Or is this just an area of
dispatcher that needs some improvement? Looking at the code,
I can probably add the functionality that I need, but I don't
want to go that route if I'm just missing how this is usually
done..
Thanks,
