Stagg,
While the Ips are the same, the suggestion to use “rd” along with an entry in the “hostname” column appears to be what I want.
I assigned in my DNS some testing hostnames to the single IP in question. When debugging, I see that rd contains the hostname, not the IP. I believe with that, I can differentiate between the two... And when I see hostname of blah.blah.tld, then go ahead and do the force_send_socket.
This definitely solves the issue for the time being. However, I am wondering if/when call volume increases if the call-setup time be delayed because of these look ups. Everything that I have read so far is that the gw_name is just information, the module doesn’t actually have access to it. Boo.

Same destination IP for both rate decks, so I need to go by something else, like the gw_name.

To: <sr-users@lists.sip-router.org>
Do the provider gateways have the same IP address for the different rate
plans? If the gateways are different then the following may be relevant.
if (next_gw()) {
# prepare for lcr failover
t_on_failure("2");
if($rd=="aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa")
{
xlog ("L_INFO", "This is a request for Some Rate Plan");
force_send_socket(udp:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5060);
}
else
{
xlog ("L_INFO", "This is a request for another rate
plan");
force_send_socket(udp:yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:5060);
};
route(2);
} else {
xlog("No gateways found!");
