Hello Micah,

using Kamailio as front-end/balancer for one or more asterisk instance(s) is a 
classic use case for Kamailio.

Have a look to the Asterisk log why you get some authentication request, 
probably you need to "tell" Asterisk to trust the Kamailio (IPs).

Cheers,

Henning

Subject: [SR-Users] Kamailio/RTPengine as a proxy for FreePBX/Asterisk...

Hello all,

I'm new to Kamailio, so bear with me as I stumble through this. First, I'll 
describe what I'm trying to achieve at a high level and then perhaps somebody 
can advise me on whether Kamailio is a good fit for this solution or not. I'd 
like to be able to deploy a small appliance type server to our customer's sites 
that just runs Kamailio and a VPN connection back to our datacenter. At our 
datacenter, we run virtualized instances of Asterisk for each of our customers. 
The idea is that Kamailio would act as a transparent proxy through to the 
Asterisk instance under nominal conditions and as a basic SIP router in the 
case that the Asterisk instance is unavailable. This degraded functionality 
would then at least allow extension to extension calling even if the Internet 
or Asterisk instance is down.

I'm currently using dispatcher with a single entry in preparation for a time 
when we might want to failover to another Asterisk instance. I'm forwarding all 
REGISTER and INVITE messages to the server chosen from ds_select_dst. Initially 
this all seems to work as I can register with a softphone and pjsip show 
endpoints shows my softphone connected. However, when I attempt to call any 
extension (my own or another) Asterisk responds to the INVITE message with a 
"401 Unauthorized" message and the typical "The person at extension XXXX is 
unavailable...".

I know that more details might be necessary to troubleshoot this, but I didn't 
want to include everything in one post and risk cluttering it up with 
unnecessary information. If anyone can confirm that this is a reasonable way to 
approach the problem, I can then provide whatever relevant data is necessary to 
get deeper into it. (I've used sngrep, logging, asterisk cli, etc.)

Thanks in advance for any help.
