Hello

the net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind = 1 options works fine. We have a very basic redundancy level, but it fits our current needs; sometimes it's even harder to troubleshoot the redundancy failures than the actual failures. We have 2 identical servers running kamailio and listening to the same ip addresses/ports (you need to enable the sysctl option for that). A heartbeat process controls in what machine the actual ip addresses are active. The DB is in one of the servers but we update the shared memory in both. For us having the DB down for a while is not critical because all the data is in memory. When one servers goes down the other one takes over immediately. It's a very comfortable setup also for doing upgrades in the configuration in a controlled manner.

Hope it helps

Hi,
Thanks for taking out time for this. really appreciate your ideas. Here are
few things I've found useful so far.

This looks like one thing that one could have to ensure more reliability
but we do need other application level and physical level failover
techniques additionally.

For using any technique like Linux-HA, Heartbeat, keepalived, UCARP or any
floating/virtual IP techniques I really hope that the sysctl option
mentioned in b/m thread really works.

DNS SRV is one option. Using another Kamailio on top of two Kamailio is
again a SPOF so I think its of no use at all.

I hope to get a very reliable and working solution out of these forums.

Regards,
Sammy
