The issue here is not really with the uac_auth module, as that module isn’t sending the message only updating it with the correct authentication info.
This is normal and correct behavior. When you send the message the second time using the same DNS, it will follow the same process as the first, trying A then timing out and failing over to B. Standard DNS SRV doesn’t include any behavior to try to avoid non-responding nodes. Ultimately what you need is to know the actual IP that elicited the 401 so the next INVITE with the authentication can be sent to the same one, using $du or $dd(:$dp). Have you tried to get the remote IP in onreply_route and store it is an AVP using $si [1] or $socket_in [2]? I don’t think I’ve ever used one of these in a reply route. The documentation doesn’t specify whether it is valid and they will contain the source of the reply, not the request.

In the table, I'm using a proxy value like sips:mysip.xx.x When the primary carrier A sbc SRV record becomes unreachable, OpenSIPS correctly times out INVITE and attempts to fail over to the secondary A record (via SRV). The secondary endpoint responds with a 401 Unauthorized and includes a WWW-Authenticate header. At this point, I assume that opensips should not try on the primary carrier A SRV record otherwise it will also timeout. but it is trying to send another INVITE with Authorization to the primary. this timeout because primary A SRV record is not responding. opensips sends another INVITE to secondary and this time its without Authorization. Is there any way to fix this or work around it? Has anyone faced a similar problem when using uac_auth() in combination with failover and the same proxy domain? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Regards, Jason
