Hi Jonathan,
OpenSIPS doesn't do that automatically because the setting should depend
on what roles the nodes have when you first boot up your cluster. As
such, on the node that first holds the VIP, and will generally be your
primary node, OpenSIPS should start with the sharing tag as active in
order to correctly process the traffic as soon as possible. And on the
backup node, the opposite. From then on, when a switchover happens at
runtime, the tag state will be changed by running the MI command
"dlg_set_sharing_tag_active" when the VRRPD state transitions (this is
where you will need some extra logic).

Thanks! So it does sound like AnyCast is at the routing protocol
level...I was thinking it was multicast for some reason. Alrighty
then...I know what needs to be done on my end and a few scenarios I
can try and get it working. My main roadblock is that we are running
Cisco EIGRP setup (not that this is your issue...just more summarizing
on what I found for anyone else who might be reading this)...so either
I can redistribute some static routes into our EIGRP process or setup
a new OSPF process and a new network address space (say another /24)
and redistribute that into our EIGRP process. OSPF would be the more
elegant and reliable way (as each server will be advertising itself
when its up) but static is going to be easier to get going and less
overhead of not having to setup OSPF (but with static, it wont
technically know when a server is down and I am then relying on longer
time outs before the other static route metric kicks in). Anywho...I
have some trial and error on my side now.
I do have one more question. Right now we use VRRPD between our two
2.3 nodes. If I was to stay with this method for 2.4, but do the
dialog replication, that would also be an acceptable solution for us.
I am confused though on this statement in the Clustering blog:
"When starting OpenSIPS, you need to check the HA status of the node
(by inspecting the HA system) and to decide which node will start as
owner of the tag:"
Is that something OpenSIPS does automatically to determine if that
VRRPD VIP IP is active on itself and set the "dlg_sharing_tag" to
active or do I have to add extra logic somewhere?

Hi, Jonathan!
The guys from Irontech have written a very nice blogpost regarding
how
they set up their environment. You should definitely give it a try:

Hope it helps!
Best regards,
