[SR-Users] Question regarding... LCR Module

[kamailio Padawan]

Hello,

I have attempted to ask questions on IRC with no response.  I really
appreciate any help from anybody!

I am using Kamailio 3.2.2.

I am unable to get anything loaded in $avp(i:709).

I am attempting to route between 2 media handling asterisk boxes.  I am
trying to load balance between them. I have the following entries in my
tables...

*lcr_gw*

*
id,lcr_id,gw_name,ip_addr,hostname,port,params,uri_scheme,transport,strip,prefix,tag,flags,defunct
*

1, 1, media1, *1.1.3.123*,  *1.1.3.123*,  5060,  , 1, 1, 0, 0, 0
2, 1, media2, *1.1.4.123*,  *1.1.4.123*,  5060,  , 1, 1, 0, 0, 0



*lcr_rule*

*id,lcr_id,prefix,from_uri,stopper,enabled*
*
*
1, 1, *[1][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]*, 0, 1



*lcr_rule_target*

*id,lcr_id,rule_id,gw_id,priority,weight*
1, 1, 1, *1*, 1, 5
2, 1, 1, *2*, 1, 5



I was under the impression that, if my from URI was 15555, and I have 2
gateways, that I can call *load_gws("1","$fU")* and return the gateways
that match the *from_uri* rule of 15555 , then look the rule_id up in *
lcr_rule_target* and return the *2* gws gw_id[1] and gw_id[2], which are
the 2 entries in the* lcr_gw* table..... and it would be weighted 5 and 5
so that it would load balance.

Right now..... I get nothing loaded in $avp(i:709).  I thought this would
show the IP/Hostname of the media1 or media2 gws.  The variable is null far
before the call to *load_gws*.
I'm loading it at the top in a modparam like

*modparam("lcr", "gw_uri_avp", "$avp(i:709)")*
*modparam("lcr", "ruri_user_avp", "$avp(i:500)")*

When i get the result of calling the *load_gws*() function into a variable.
 The variable is *2*.  Is that the number of rows returned?

Why is that parameter [avp(i:709)] always empty?

How can i get next_gw() to complete and not fail?

Thank you so much....

I am very new to Kamailio and am very interested...
