Hello All,
Ive been doing more and more research on trying to setup a cluster/load
balancer for Asterisk. All the Asterisk boxes would be using a config that
is the same between them all (via a DB), but we want one location to point
the phones to, and from there that machine/device will send it to a Asterisk
server so the call can be processed. I know you cant balance the whole call,
ie: once the call is started the RTP stream has to go to the same server,
but a new call could go to a different server if perhaps the 1st server was
unreachable.
Has anyone tried this, or got this to work? Ive been looking at using a
Juniper Session Border Controller, but not sure if thats gonna do the trick,
and then we also have SER..
Any comments would be great!
Thanks
Ron

Ron,
I'm doing something similar with clustering. I haven't gotten the total design
down yet but so far I have 1 * server holding all the routes to several
child/registration * servers where my iax and sip clients actually register to.
I'm using the 1 * server running dundi to peer with all the registration
servers and all the registration servers only peer with the 1 * server, I call
this the Registration Presence Server or RPS. When a child/registration server
does a lookup request to the RPS, the RPS does a lookup on all the other
registration servers and knows who is registered where and relays that info
back to the original requesting registration server. Use a dundi ttl=1 in the
RPS and ttl=2 in each registration server to avoid routing loops. I'm still in
the testing phase but it's going well, but Im running into some cache timeout
issues when a client drops off and re-registers to a different registration
server, have to flush dundi to pickup the new location. There
is a cache timeout parameter I have yet to play with.
I dont have the load balancing session border controller function down yet,
but that is on the list of things to do.
Hope this helps.
