Hi,
I have heard that there are two main methods to allow failover with openser - you can use heartbeat, which I believe is where a secondary machine assumes the primary machines IP upon the primary not responding to a ping. I understand the alternative is SRV records, which use DNS to failover when a machine goes down.
What is the advantages/disadvantages of each? What are people actually using in production with OpenSER?
Can anyone offer some advice on this?
TIA
Robert
