[SR-Users] get server parameters from DB when kamailio starts

[Uri Shacked]

thanks,
it is good see there is a wayto start with -A... and it might make it
easier a little (cause i use the define as the group the server belongs to).
but, it doesn't help me fully in my case.
i would like to have a generic start, and generic cfg file (it is much
easier when you need to maintain).
the best thing i would like to do is something like that:

let say i have "route on start" or "get data from DB on start"... then, i
set something like:

get "myself"
from list of kamailio servers"
and set my group to "the value set on me"
it seems to me something very usefull, when you use 2 and more kamailio at
different sites, and still want a generic code and functions.

if i was a programer... i might try to write some module :-)

thanks anyway,
Uri
