Just a word of caution here, there are several SIP stacks which don't handle SRV lookups correctly. I don't mean to discourage you from this, but just to be aware of it. For example, Mobicents only understands SRV record sets which return domain names. If you return IPs, Mobicents will go ahead and look them up as A records and fail. > > You can share the dialog state etween two nodes by using the dialog > module in db-only mode (db_mode = 1, see > > http://kamailio.org/docs/modules/devel/modules/dialog.html#idp15368320). > You cannot share transactions between two nodes, only dialogs. > > In addition, you can work with virtual IPs with Heartbeat/Pacemaker. > > At a big operator, we've used a combination of the two: Active/Passive > for one site and DNS-SRV to distribute it among different sites. > > Kind regards, > Carsten > > 2014-12-26 19:07 GMT+01:00 Mahmoud Ramadan Ali > <cisco.and.more.blog(a)gmail.com>om>: > > Hi Dears, > > I have successfully configured Kamailio HA using Heartbeat and > > Pacemaker > > so > > if one of the two servers should go down the other server will own > > the > > virtual IP address and take over. > > But i have two questions: > > > > 1.This model is considered to be Active / Passive redundancy so one > > server > > will process the SIP signaling until it goes down and i'm wondering > > is > > there > > is any way two achieve Active / Active redundancy and if so how the > > signaling will be handled on the servers so they can be aware of the > > transactions and dialogs traversing the servers ? does the > > signalling > > will > > be replicated or synchronized between the servers or what ?! > > > > 2.What about the servers DB and how they should be designed in a > > cluster > > mode ? i want to replicate all the DBs of the server to get > > consistent > > user > > registration using the subscriber table for example. > > > > Thanks in advance and Best regards. > > > > _______________________________________________ > > SIP Express Router (SER) and Kamailio (OpenSER) - sr-users mailing > > list > > sr-users(a)lists.sip-router.org > > http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users > > > > > > -- > Carsten Bock > CEO (Geschäftsführer) > > ng-voice GmbH > Schomburgstr. 80 > D-22767 Hamburg / Germany > > http://www.ng-voice.com > mailto:carsten@ng-voice.com > > Office +49 40 5247593-0 > Fax +49 40 5247593-99 > > Sitz der Gesellschaft: Hamburg > Registergericht: Amtsgericht Hamburg, HRB 120189 > Geschäftsführer: Carsten Bock > Ust-ID: DE279344284 > > Hier finden Sie unsere handelsrechtlichen Pflichtangaben: > http://www.ng-voice.com/imprint/ > > _______________________________________________ > SIP Express Router (SER) and Kamailio (OpenSER) - sr-users mailing > list > sr-users(a)lists.sip-router.org > http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users _______________________________________________ SIP Express Router (SER) and Kamailio (OpenSER) - sr-users mailing list sr-users(a)lists.sip-router.org http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users
