[SR-Users] Ways to reload Kamailio configuration file without restart

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Connections can be dropped from other reasons, not only restarts (like
congested routers on the path), so if your client is not able to
reconnect, then it will get in troubles anyhow.

You can also build a topology with an edge proxy (referred by many as
sbc), which sits in between the client and the main sip server, with a
very basic configuration that you don't need to change. This is actually
something recommended, in the edge proxy you can filter bad traffic
(scanning attacks, malformed sip packets) and behind it you can have
many sip servers (for redundancy/high availability), routing traffic to
them using dispatcher module (load balancer).

Edge proxy and main proxy can be even on the same system, but using
different ports.

Cheers,
Daniel
