[Users] 2 Instances of OpenSER on the same server

A few points.

Firstly, If you are going to run 2 different instances on the same server,
they should have different ports (e.g. 5060 for the 1st instance and 5062
for 2nd).

Secondly, if you are trying to resolve 2 different Local IPs to the same
server (in your case 192.168.1.112 and 192.168.1.113), one of any of these
should happen:
1. you should either have 2 network card interfaces in your server, or
2. Linux does this thing where it is able to split a single (physical) NIC
interface into seperate virtual interfaces (e.g. for a single interface *
eth0* splits it into *eth0:0* for the 1st virtual interface and *eth0:1* for
the 2nd, etc). The process is called *IP aliasing*. You should then allocate
the 2 local IPs to the 2 virtual interfaces like so:
 eth0:0 -> 192.168.1.112, and
 eth0:1 -> 192.168.1.113

commands are something like this:

    ifconfig eth0   *XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX* netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast *
XXX.XXX.XXX*.255
    ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.112   netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
192.168.1.255
    ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.113   netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
192.168.1.255

    route add -host *XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX* dev eth0
    route add -host 192.168.1.112 dev eth0
    route add -host 192.168.1.113  dev eth0
    route add default gw <Gateway IP>

where *XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX* in the 1st instance refers to another local IP e.g.
192.168.1.3.
(I am no Linux guru so maybe the gurus here could pipe in). :)

Method 1 is probably the simpler and more straight-forward, but if you can't
afford 2 NICs I don't think Method 2 will be too difficult either.


Simply putting the entries in etc/hosts is not enough as the server needs to
be able to identify them as 2 separate instances. This is why you are
getting that error - it's because only one interface was identified and that
has already been "bound" to the first Local IP (192.168.1.112).

Also, if I understand your *ifconfig* output correctly, then this is not
setup correctly. You seem to be mixing private and public IP addresses. If
you are going through a router or NATed environement you don't need
to assign the external interfaces to the NIC(s), nor do you specifically
need to define them in your openser.cfgs (i.e. listen=external IP). You only
need this if you are in a non-NATed environment, so it's a case of either
or.

Hope that made sense.
