"listen" defines the sockets on which openser is listening.

inside openser there are several function which need to know if a message is addressed to this openser or not.

eg. INVITE [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Openser has to know if domain.com is itself and it should process the message or if it should forward the request to domain.com.

For the from URI or request URI there the functions from the domain module which stores this information in a database.

You can also use the "myself" function. myself and the loose_routing function uses the "aliases" to find out if a message is addressed to this openser or not.

Thus, openser internally has a list of aliases it is responsible of. This list includes:
 - all the IP addresses on which openser is listening
 - all the domain names found out by reverse lookups of the listening IPs
 - all aliases which were defined with the alias= option

Hi there,

Could someone please explain to me the actual difference between */Alias=/* and */Listen=/*. I have read the documentation ( http://www.openser.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=openser_core_cookbook#alias and http://www.openser.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=openser_core_cookbook#listen <http://www.openser.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=openser_core_cookbook#listen>) but still cannot distinguish between what the two functions are doing differently.

Do I _need_ to use both Alias and Listen at the same time in the config?

For example, if I have an openser server responsible for multiple domains /sip1.foobar.com <http://sip1.foobar.com> /, /sip2.foobar.com <http://sip2.foobar.com>/, etc and also listening in on multiple ports (/5060/, /5061/, /5062/), would I have to add the following to my openser.cfg?

listen=udp:localhost:5060     /* Loopback */
listen=udp:localhost:5061
listen=udp:localhost:5062
listen=udp:192.168.1.101:5060 <http://192.168.1.101:5060> /* LAN IP of the server */
listen=udp: 192.168.1.101:5061 <http://192.168.1.101:5061>
listen=udp:192.168.1.101:5062 <http://192.168.1.101:5062>
listen=udp:sip1.foobar.com:5060 <http://sip1.foobar.com:5060> /* Domain 1 */
listen=tcp:sip1.foobar.com:5060 <http://sip1.foobar.com:5060>
listen=udp:sip1.foobar.com:5061 <http://sip1.foobar.com:5061>
listen=tcp:sip1.foobar.com:5061 <http://sip1.foobar.com:5061>
listen=udp:sip1.foobar.com:5062 <http://sip1.foobar.com:5062>
listen=tcp:sip1.foobar.com:5062 <http://sip1.foobar.com:5062>
listen=udp:sip2.foobar.com:5060 <http://sip2.foobar.com:5060> /* Domain 2 */
listen=tcp:sip2.foobar.com:5060 <http://sip2.foobar.com:5060>
listen=udp:sip2.foobar.com:5061 <http://sip2.foobar.com:5061>
listen=tcp: sip2.foobar.com:5061 <http://sip2.foobar.com:5061>
listen=udp:sip2.foobar.com:5062 <http://sip2.foobar.com:5062>
listen=tcp:sip2.foobar.com:5062 <http://sip2.foobar.com:5062>
alias="sip1.foobar.com:5060 <http://sip1.foobar.com:5060>" /* Aliases for Domain 1 */
alias="sip1.foobar.com:5061 <http://sip1.foobar.com:5061>"
alias=" sip1.foobar.com:5062 <http://sip1.foobar.com:5062>"

alias="sip2.foobar.com:5060 <http://sip2.foobar.com:5060>" /* Aliases for Domain 2 */
alias="sip2.foobar.com:5061 <http://sip2.foobar.com:5061>"
alias=" sip2.foobar.com:5062 <http://sip2.foobar.com:5062>"

alias="111.222.333.444>"  /* IP OF SERVER */

Now if I understand correctly then *if (uri==myself) { }* should now be true for each of these domains.
