My hope was to have fail over ahead of the sipx box. The DNS load balancing 
with opensbc 
is pretty cool, I can watch connections flip flopping across both sides. 
I have also wondered if that could be the source of the problem as well. A 
fixed phone 
seems to stick to what ever sbc is registered through until the session dies 
and it 
reconnects, then it can hit either one again but seems to stick fine otherwise.

When I watch say a soft phone trying to connect, unless it connects immediately 
(registers 
I mean), then I can see it flip flopping between the sbc's. That has made me 
wonder many 
times if it's possible that sipx could be having trouble sending data back out 
to the 
proper sbc for some reason, perhaps failing the registrations? 

I've also seen where even a fixed phone is (remote phone, registered over 
Internet to 
sbc's) connected, seems to be working fine. The person will pick up the phone 
to make a 
call and has one way audio. This happened the other day when we were testing 
conference 
calls. Everything worked, then suddenly, the remote sip phone had one way audio 
the next 
call.

Alright, I'll get to that shortly.

I'll start a new thread when done. Here's what I have so far and I'll post this 
part in 
that new thread as well.

Built a PfSense server and a new sipx 4.0.2.
Searching google, the pfsense wiki and forums, it appears that PfSense does NOT 
have ALG. 
So if someone disagrees with using this firewall, I'll use something else. In 
the 
meantime;

WAN Router
 |
Switch
 |
Eth1-Public IP x.x.x.x
PfSense
Eth0-LAN IP (VLAN) (Passing SIP/RTP only. All other services over different 
connection)
 |
Switch
 |
BladeCenter Blade Running ESX - One Guest only, SipX 4.0.2

The final setup intention is one server on each WAN for fail over/redundancy.
I don't really want to post any real IPs so if there will be testing to be 
done, perhaps I 
can send some info off list and we can post results if that's ok.

Mike
