Hello Kevin,

from the module README:

"This module provides SCTP transport layer for Kamailio. SCTP is an acronym 
for Stream Control Transmission Protocol, read more about it at: http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_Control_Transmission_Protocol"

So this is a dedicated transport layer (like UDP, TCP), and would need some 
more adaptions in our network setup and clients. So it will not automatically 
add magic to your setup, sorry. ;-)

You can enable multi-homed support in Kamailio with the mhomed core parameter.

Best regards,

Henning
