Hi Sir. This is the result of my query: ~$ host -t SRV _sip._udp.mydomain.com _sip._udp.mydomain.com has SRV record 0 1 5060 sip-1.mydomain.com. _sip._udp.mydomain.com has SRV record 0 3 5060 sip-2.mydomain.com. is that what you meant on having at least 2 SRV record? does this mean i need a UA capable of querying DNS SRV? i know it's not a real failover but at least the UA should still try to register on the other server if it cannot connect. thank you regards, nhadie > > Andres > http://www.neuroredes.com > >> TIA >> >> regards >> nhadie >> >> _______________________________________________ >> -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- >> >> AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona >> Register Now: http://www.astricon.net >> >> asterisk-users mailing list >> To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: >> http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users >> >> >> > > > _______________________________________________ > -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- > > AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona > Register Now: http://www.astricon.net > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
