Klaus,
Yes. It's necessary to replicate 4 times. We're implementing a 'farm' of Asterisk hosts. Asterisk has a serious limitation where there's no way to share contact info for phones between them. OpenSER seemed like it may be able to address this issue, by accepting registrations from the phones and then 'fanning' them out to ALL the Asterisk boxes. In this way, each Asterisk box knows where every phone is. Up to this point I had just been calling forward() multiple times, once to each Asterisk system and it seemed to work well. With the addition of extra ethernet ports in each Asterisk box (for extra redundancy), it got more complicated as I didn't want to register twice to the same Asterisk system. While I don't think that would cause a problem, I was just trying to make it as bullet-proof as I could.
Doug.

That's a difficult setup. I've never did this yet and do not know if it
is possible at all. you can use t_replicate but this works only with 1
host. I think someone solved this using forward_tcp.
is it really necessary to replicate 4 times?

My logic tries to relay to the first IP on the first Asterisk box (192.168.10.100). If that fails, it tries to relay to the second IP on the first Asterisk box (192.168.10.17). It then goes on and repeats the process with another Asterisk box who's IP's are 192.168.10.10.101 and 192.168.10.8.

>>Why am I getting the t_newtran and t_relay errors in there? What am I doing wrong? I'm just calling rewritehostport(next-ip), followed by append_branch() and t_relay. In fact something really weird happens. When I have the code there for route[20], failure_route[21] and route[22], it causes the code for the first three routing blocks, route[10], failure_route[11] and route[12] to act differently. It seems to make route20 fail to connect eventhough it comes AFTER it in the code.
