RE: [Asterisk-Users] SRV Lookups
Kerry, thanks for the reply. The subject here is a bit misleading. I think I
forgot to change it at some point. Ayway, I am REALLY curious how you got
Realtime to allow sharing of SIP contact info is it a fluke of chance maybe?

My comment was not specific to SRV lookups and more along the lines
that without it Asterisk is not usable in production environments. This type of
comment is a bit misleading at best. Without SRV lookups, Asterisk may not be
usable in YOUR environment but that hardly devalues Asterisk as a whole. Not
that it wouldnt make some things much easier (and possible) but it does not
preclude every possible scenerio.

Hi Kerry.
Did you see Kevin's subsequent post about using Realtime to share SIP
registry info?
"Uhhh... you already quoted my previous message on that topic stating
that it was not supported at this time. In any given situation, it may
or may not work properly, depending on exactly what the servers and
clients are doing.
Even if the code had been written, there will still be many issues
involved in actually implementing it, including (but not limited to) NAT
traversal, call limit handling, registration expiration and others. It
also mandates that there can be _no_ caching of peer/user information in
memory, which currently means there is no 'qualify' or MWI notification
possible."
Now, I can be a real jerk and say I told you so, or I could inquire as
to just how you got it working when it isn't supposed to? This limitation is
proving to be a real thorn in our side and I would just die to get it to work.

Not really - if you read carefully enough you will find these two quotes in the two bug reports - but with almost all your energy spent with being upset you probably missed them... ;-> markster: "...Fortunately srv lookups are bypassed by peer declarations..." markster: "If you have a sip friend/peer entry for budgetphone.nl it will not lookup the SRV record but will use the host you have specified.

Where is that requirement stipulated? Nowhere - you just invented that. Why should you need to know C in order to put a bounty, or just formulate well documented bug report? Or where does the Wiki require C knowledge (talking about "contributing", not "using" - you don't need C skills to at all to "use" asterisk). Asterisk is not perfect, there is a lot of "work in progress" (sometimes too much), but it is the only one of its kind, it works, and it gets better day-by-day. And if you find a way to help with that (and preferably a way that doesn't step on people's collective toes): great!

That's why I'm trying to get an idea for when these features will be. This isn't whining. You did not ask when they would be implemented, you said that it not being implemented was 'a major limitation'. That is not asking a question, nor is it in any way constructive. If you are however, stating they are designed this way and there's no plan to implement them, I'm wondering why there's such resistance to putting redundant features into Asterisk? You are very good at putting words into others' mouths, apparently... Since nobody has said anything of the kind, making a statement like this is purely inflammatory. Where is this resistance that you speak of? Do you have any evidence that someone provided a functional implementation of this feature and it was rejected? Do you have any evidence that someone provided even a functional design for others to implement and it was rejected? If not, saying there is 'resistance' is purely argumentative and only annoys everyone else. Asterisk has the features it has because people with the skills to implement them did so; features that are not present are not that way because someone decided they would not ever be there (except in very rare circumstances), they are that way because nobody has provided an implementation that was merged into the source tree.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] SRV Lookups
What exactly do you mean by 'documented not to be implemented'? If you are referring to the fact it isn't implemented, yes I realise that. That's why I'm trying to get an idea for when these features will be. This isn't whining. If you are however, stating they are designed this way and there's no plan to implement them, I'm wondering why there's such resistance to putting redundant features into Asterisk? -Original Message- From: Kevin P.

[Asterisk-Users] SRV Lookups
Anyone know when Asterisk is going to properly support DNS SRV Lookups? We have Asterisk, OpenSER and Polycom phones here. The Polycom phones seem to have about the best implementation. They at least try a second system (round-robin based on equal weights is flaky tho) if the first doesn't respond unlike Asterisk and OpenSER. It's kinda hard to build a REDUNDANT VOIP network when more than 2/3 of it doesn't support SRV lookups! This also means you have to use IP addresses and hostnames a lot of the time, which makes routing a mess. Yuck!

RE: [Asterisk-Users] SRV Lookups *ARRGH!*
Phillip. The link to the Wiki is woefully indadequate. I have no problem adding to the documentation, as soon as I bloody understand it myself. The two bug links you provided appear to be almost completely unrelated to what I asked about except they touch on the subject of SRV lookups. If you can't reference the proxy to dial in sip.conf, then you lose the ability to set a whole bunch of options (such as qualify which is required for detecting CONGESTION when the proxy is down etc). If I stick with an IP/host and refer to what's in sip.conf, Asterisk ends URI's like sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] which is but ugly and breaks SIP in general. Oh, and you know what, why is it assumed that to use open source software I have to be a seasoned C programmer who can contribute to the code? Where is that requirement stipulated? At this point I'm almost ready to throw Asterisk out the window and suggest we spend $300,000 on the Sylantro solution.

Hi everyone,
I have a question concerning DNS SRV lookups. The situation is like this:
- one central Asterisk server
- many domains with SRV records, let's say we have bar.com and doe.com
Now the question is: if the SRV lookup is done for [EMAIL PROTECTED] the call is
mapped to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is that correct?
Yes, this is wrong. We should *not* change the URI. Bug report please.
If so, I have a problem: if somebody calls [EMAIL PROTECTED], Asterisk receives only
the "foo" part. If someone calls [EMAIL PROTECTED], it receives "john" as the
extension. Now the main question is: how do I know which SIP address the call
originally went to?
Check the ${SIPDOMAIN} variable - it will give you the incoming domain.
If I lose the domain name prone to SRV lookup, I can't decide where to route
the call - for example, there may be [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], both get
mapped to my central Asterisk server - I'm unable to know which of the john.s
is being called, hence I cannot route the call correctly.
Again, bug report.
Hope the question is clear enough ;)
Yes, it was. Thank you.
