[Serusers] Scaling SER

[Tracy Lofton]

Hi again,

As a second note, implementing something like 
mediaproxy/proxydispatcher.py/mediaproxy.py and of course using the same, 
SER database you currently have, you can distribute load balancing and 
failover, per the INSTALL info found here for implementing mediaproxy:

http://mediaproxy.ag-projects.com/INSTALL

an excerpt states:

"Considering your domain is mydomain.com and you wan to dedicate 3 main
servers and 2 fallbacks. The main servers you want to distribute traffic
among are 2 1Ghz machines (named nat1 and nat2) and a 2Ghz machine (nat3).
You want 25% from the traffic to go to each 1Ghz machine and 50% to the 2Ghz
machine. For the fallbacks (nat4 and nat5) you want to distribute the
traffic equally among the 2 machines....

_mediaproxy._tcp.mydomain.com.  IN SRV   0  25 25060 nat1.mydomain.com.
_mediaproxy._tcp.mydomain.com.  IN SRV   0  25 25060 nat2.mydomain.com.
_mediaproxy._tcp.mydomain.com.  IN SRV   0  50 25060 nat3.mydomain.com.
_mediaproxy._tcp.mydomain.com.  IN SRV  10  50 25060 nat4.mydomain.com.
_mediaproxy._tcp.mydomain.com.  IN SRV  10  50 25060 nat5.mydomain.com.  "

I hope this helps because it seems like it should  work with no problem with 
many SER servers sharing the same db but balancing the load however you 
decide to distribute by manipulating/creating pertinent  DNS SRV records.  
Actually, I do currently utilize mediaproxy and with regard to nat 
traversal/two-way audio capabilities, it serves me well.
