Re: [asterisk-users] Resilience using DNS or phone feature ?

 Oliver,

 We use DNS SRV records combined with short TTLs

How short ?

 to provide failover.
 Thankfully, we have only used it when moving phones from one server to
 another in preparation for upgrades, but it worked like a champ then.


I was first inclined to use DNS instead of phone feature for several
reasons.
But I'm curious to compare those reasons with others.

Your experience proves using DNS makes sense :
it gives capability to fall back to main or backup proxy at will,
it doesn't hide strange phones behaviours,
...

  Hi,
 
  I'm planning to deploy SIP hardphones in a serverless location.

  Phones themselves can register to a backup SIP proxy if first proxy
  fails but, AFAIK, can't fall back to main server from backup server
  when main server recovers.
 
  I'm wondering if should use DNS, phone multi-registration feature, or
  a combination of DNS and phone multi-registration feature, to
  implement resilience.
  Your opinion ?
 
  Cheers
