Hi again,
As a second note, implementing something like mediaproxy/proxydispatcher.py/mediaproxy.py and of course using the same, SER database you currently have, you can distribute load balancing and failover, per the INSTALL info found here for implementing mediaproxy:
http://mediaproxy.ag-projects.com/INSTALL
an excerpt states:
"Considering your domain is mydomain.com and you wan to dedicate 3 main servers and 2 fallbacks. The main servers you want to distribute traffic among are 2 1Ghz machines (named nat1 and nat2) and a 2Ghz machine (nat3). You want 25% from the traffic to go to each 1Ghz machine and 50% to the 2Ghz machine. For the fallbacks (nat4 and nat5) you want to distribute the traffic equally among the 2 machines....
_mediaproxy._tcp.mydomain.com. IN SRV 0 25 25060 nat1.mydomain.com. _mediaproxy._tcp.mydomain.com. IN SRV 0 25 25060 nat2.mydomain.com. _mediaproxy._tcp.mydomain.com. IN SRV 0 50 25060 nat3.mydomain.com. _mediaproxy._tcp.mydomain.com. IN SRV 10 50 25060 nat4.mydomain.com. _mediaproxy._tcp.mydomain.com. IN SRV 10 50 25060 nat5.mydomain.com. "
I hope this helps because it seems like it should work with no problem with many SER servers sharing the same db but balancing the load however you decide to distribute by manipulating/creating pertinent DNS SRV records. Actually, I do currently utilize mediaproxy and with regard to nat traversal/two-way audio capabilities, it serves me well.

I currently have a single SER server using MySQL for data storage. Due to the number of users I now have and to help redundancy I want to setup another SER server.
I have search the web and have not been able to find a tutorial on this so I hope someone on this list can help.
I need the SER servers to at least know about the location of clients registered with each server. Therefore can I point both servers at the same MySQL and for them to share the data?
Are there any issues around this strategy? Is there another way to accomplish what I want?
Regards
Jon
