### Description i want to give decimal value of ip address to the server_id but when i am converting the ipv6 address to decimal then its bigger then integer range.so here in kamailio, we need to update every place where ever we are using server id by int64.we need to also make changes to database also by changing the server_id field type.
### Troubleshooting
#### Reproduction issue can be reproduced by following steps: first get the server_id by converting the ipv6 ip address to decimal so whenever any endpoint register it will store the -1 into database as integer range is reached to limit.
#### Debugging Data
<!-- If you got a core dump, use gdb to extract troubleshooting data - full backtrace, local variables and the list of the code at the issue location.
gdb /path/to/kamailio /path/to/corefile bt full info locals list
If you are familiar with gdb, feel free to attach more of what you consider to be relevant. -->

@miconda to resolve this we need to make many changes to core and might be changes to parser also. we need to make changes to modules that are using the server_id.it will be huge changes but it might be required in future.we can convert int to long long int .in database we can convert int to bigint.
The server_id type is integer, which I consider to be more than enough for any very large deployment (the positive range is over 2 billion values, I am quite confident it is more than any foreseeable deployment would have in terms of number of server/kamailio instances).
The scope of server_id is to be fast in matching, not to add too much penalty. Otherwise it could have been a string.
You may want to store a value that is larger than integer, but others later may want to store something else where even long long is enough.
So in my opinion, integer is enough, server id is supposed to be a unique integer value in the deployment, not something else. But I am open to see opinions from others, if they find benefits or drawbacks.
Changed the title, because it is a feature request to change a working design for server_id, not an existing issue that needs to be fixed.
Closing this one as no interest shown for long time -- if someone wants it, just make a pull request.
Closed #1322.
