I use it to handle calls between multiple sites connected over a wan. It
works great, I finally understood the concepts after the Astricon
presentation on clustering with dundi.

It's just a shame there isn't complete documentation available.

2006-12-12 Thread Bruce Reeves

I guess that depends on what you mean, I got a good overview in the Asterisk
bootcamp from Lief, but then the whitepaper and presentation by JR
Richardson sealed the deal on our use of dundi to dynamicly route calls.

We have been playing with DUNDi in a configuration similar to JR's whitepaper.
Everything seems to be working fine but we have encountered a couple
hurdles. Maybe others on the list have encountered these as well.

1.)  When a registration server fails there doesn't seem to be an easy
way to have clients automatically register to a new server. (our
clients are mostly other asterisk boxes.) To solve this we are
considering using DNS failover.

2.)  If you plan to do any direct routing using the fullcontact
address like what is shown in JR's whitepaper, you may find that
fullcontact sometimes contains private network addresses. This makes
it impossible to route inbound calls directly to the client.

Regards,
David

Wow. I remember when I raised this as an issue I was accused of being a 
Asterisk heretic. The solution suggested was to, increased load 
not-withstanding, bring your phone registration period right down.

Thanks for the tip Doug. Even when registration periods are set low,
the clients don't know which new server to register to. It would be
great to use SRV, however most of our clients are also Asterisk boxes,
and as you know Asterisk does not support multiple SRV lookups.

We have used DNS failover on other services in the past and have
thought to try this with asterisk. Basicly our clients would register
to FQDN like reg1.mydomain.com, then when that box fails we'd have DNS
re-direct that name to a the IP of reg2.mydomain.com.

This seems to work with web and ftp, but I'm not sure how asterisk
will respond. Any thoughts?
