[Serusers] SER / LCR / Dynamic routing / Wondering....

[Jean-Michel Hiver]

Hi List,

Currently I use the Perl module Asterisk::LCR to handle the least cost 
routing. So I basically have SER forward PSTN calls to my Asterisk box, 
and Asterisk handles the routing...

I'm thinking that the LCR part should really be handled by SER. Because, 
well, it's dubbed the SIP Express ROUTER, so I'm thinking I ought to get 
it to actually ROUTE stuff, including LCR. And I would really like to 
keep Asterisk for what it's good at, i.e. voicemail, IVR menus, and AGI.

Now, there's a couple of ways I could do this.

1) Do some static routing, i.e. have a script which writes a (really, 
really big) ser.cfg configuration file. Now I wonder how SER would 
handle a multi-megabyte configuration file. Another issue is what happen 
to SIP traffic when you do a ser restart? I would assume, bad things...

2) Do dynamic routing, but I have no idea on how to achieve this with 
SER. Any tips?

Let me know what I can do... I would just *love* to upload a SER::LCR 
module on CPAN as well :)

Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
