[SR-Users] how to combine alias_db_lookup() with lookup()

I'm trying to use the db_alias module as a way to define "generic" addresses that map to a set of actual phones. For example, I'd like the alias "home(a)foo.bar" to map to "kitchen(a)foo.bar" and "office(a)foo.bar".bar", so that both phones ring when a call comes in to "home". I have set the append_branches param to 1: modparam("alias_db", "append_branches", 1) I also modified the dbaliases database table so that key "alias_idx" isn't unique, thereby allow me to add multiple rows for the same alias. The relevant script section is taken verbatim from 3.1 kamailio.cfg: # USER location service route[LOCATION] { #!ifdef WITH_ALIASDB # search in DB-based aliases alias_db_lookup("dbaliases"); #!endif if (!lookup("location")) { switch ($rc) { case -1: case -3: xlog( "L_WARN", "XXX $ru $fu\n"); t_newtran(); t_reply("404", "Not Found"); exit; case -2: sl_send_reply("405", "Method Not Allowed"); exit; } } # when routing via usrloc, log the missed calls also if (is_method("INVITE")) { setflag(FLT_ACCMISSED); } } When I place a call to an alias, the kamailio debug log shows that alias_db_lookup() is correctly setting the ruri to the first entry found in the table, and using append_branch() to add the others. But only the first matching phone gets an INVITE, not the others. I suspect that the lookup() call is blowing away the branches set up by alias_db_lookup() and replacing them with the single phone that matches the ruri for the first alias entry. Is there a way to get alias_db_lookup() and lookup() to play together, so that the first function can set up a list of branches, and the second function can resolve all of the branches to the actual device locations? -- Mark Sidell Partner Forte, Inc. 919-942-7068 fax 919-969-2844 www.forteinc.com
