Hello JR,

the failure_route basically catches the errors from the first cr_route to the 
failed GW. Then it reverts the request URI to the previous (fresh) state, and 
then re-write its again to the second gateway. This message is then relayed to 
it. If the kamailio then re-sends the INVITE, then the second gateway perhaps 
not reply as well?

As i side note, i saw in an earlier msg that you specified a 
carrierfailureroute table, but don't used it so far in the cfg. If you still 
want to balance to a certain (smaller) number of asterisk servers without 
special prefix matching needs maybe you could take a look to the dispatcher 
module, which also provides some features not available in cr, like active 
probing.

Regards,

Henning
