[Kamailio-Users] [Solved] How to configure alias_db_lookup in config script

[JR Richardson]

Good question.  This configuration is to route certain DID's over to
specific application servers and the rest of the calls process through to
the load balancer for general traffic.

For instance, I want fax DID's to route over to a specific fax server, so I
have to distinguish which DID's are for fax calls.  I load the fax DID's
into the database and point them over the fax server.
