I have configured 2 media proxy servers on my machine which has 3 network cards, two of which connect to the external world via different PUBLIC IP and one network card connects to the internal world via PRIVATE IP.

I have two copies of mediaproxy.ini for each instance of mediaproxy, each handling the SIP media proxy for each of the external interface ( and different names ).

My question is about [MediaProxy] section for each of the mediaproxy.ini, do I specify the same socket file name or different socket file name ?

If I specify the same file name, it would mean that two instances of the mediaproxy server are using the same socket filename for communication. Is it a problem ?

And I noticed that if one instance is killed, the socket file will be deleted, it would then mean the second surviving instance will suffer. Isn't it right ?

According to the documentation, this socket file name is where the mediaproxy receives the command from the proxydispatcher, and therefore it is something for the proxydispatcher to know. But if I configured different file name from the default ( specified in two different mediaproxy.ini ), how would the proxydispatcher get to know about using a different file name ?

Appreciate any comments.
