I 'd like the UAs to make only DNS lookup, when one proxy fails, if the
proxy put domain name in The RR header, the UA must do a DNS lookup in
every request, isn't it?


It should be (that's why it's always recommended to use FQDNs instead
of IPs in SIP headers).....but I bet thousands of beers that many UAs
won't do SRV lookup for every message.

First of all thanks the replies!
Problem is the same, i wanna send a transaction to another proxy if one dies. But a RR header for the whole dialog is valid, i've got a suggestion to use FQDNs... I quess this way it should work, please someone take a look, if i missunderstood something...


In the scenario there is 4 outbound proxy, the message will be send in the so called SIP trapezoid (UAC->Outbound proxy -> Inbound proxy -> UAS) The INVITE transaction is sent successfully to one outbound proxy, but this proxy goes down, and the BYE transaction should go to another proxy in the same dialog.

DNS SRV for failover and load balancing

_sip._udp IN SRV 0 6 proxy1.outboundproxydomain.com
_sip._udp IN SRV 0 4 proxy2.outboundproxydomain.com
_sip._udp IN SRV 1 6 proxy3.outboundproxydomain.com
_sip._udp IN SRV 1 4 proxy4.outboundproxydomain.com

Address records

outboundproxydomain.com        A    217.xxx.xxx.195
outboundproxydomain.com        A    217.xxx.xxx.196
outboundproxydomain.com        A    217.xxx.xxx.197
outboundproxydomain.com        A    217.xxx.xxx.198

proxy1.outboundproxydomain.com    A    217.xxx.xxx.195
proxy2.outboundproxydomain.com    A    217.xxx.xxx.196
proxy3.outboundproxydomain.com    A    217.xxx.xxx.197
proxy4.outboundproxydomain.com    A    217.xxx.xxx.198


INVITE
______


UAC
   INVITE sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] SIP/2.0
   Contact: <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

DNS lookup for outbound proxy (dig -t SRV _sip._udp.outboundproxydomain.com)
Choose proxy1.outboundproxydomain.com
dig -t A proxy1.outboundproxydomain.com -> 217.xxx.xxx.195
Send message to 217.xxx.xxx.195


Outbound proxy(217.xxx.xxx.195)

INVITE sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] SIP/2.0 Record-Route: <sip:outboundproxydomain.com;lr>
   Contact: <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Record-route ONLY its domain name.
Lookup inbound proxy, send message to it.

Inbound proxy

INVITE sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] SIP/2.0 Record-Route: <sip:proxy.domain.com
   Record-Route: <sip:outboundproxydomain.com;lr>
   Contact: <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

UAS

INVITE sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] SIP/2.0 Record-Route: <sip:proxy.domain.com
   Record-Route: <sip:outboundproxydomain.com;lr>
   Contact: <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

....


BYE
___

UAC
   BYE sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] SIP/2.0
   Route: <sip:outboundproxydomain.com;lr>
   Route: <sip:proxy.domain.com;lr>
   Contact: <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Most important part!!!
lookup proxy (dig -t A outboundproxydomain.com)
217.xxx.xxx.195 failed
send message 217.xxx.xxx.196 (proxy2.outboundproxydomain.com)


Outbound proxy (217.xxx.xxx.196):

   BYE sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] SIP/2.0
   Route: <sip:proxy.domain.com;lr>
   Contact: <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Inbound proxy:

   BYE sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] SIP/2.0
   Contact: <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

UAS

   BYE sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] SIP/2.0
   Contact: <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


Thanks in advance,
Tamas
