Yes,
I did read all(past 3+ years) his replies specific to DMQ and DMQ USRLOC and only one matched exact description and there has no resolution to it. 
Github open+closed issues for DMQ didn't have anything similar either. Could it be something I'm doing wrong !? 

Additional info:  One of the server is direct on Public IP and Other one is behind NAT. Another test setup where it consistently reproducible is two server behind NAT(AWS) 
Here are the mod params.  Only usrloc sync is done via DMQ and no other module is using DMQ. 

listen=udp:LocalIP:5060 advertise PublicIP:5060

modparam("dmq","server_address", DMQ_LOCAL_SERVER)
modparam("dmq", "notification_address", DMQ_REMOTE_SERVER)
modparam("dmq", "multi_notify", 0) //1 for DNS SRV
modparam("dmq", "num_workers", 10)
modparam("dmq", "ping_interval", 60)

modparam("dmq_usrloc", "enable", 1)
modparam("dmq_usrloc", "sync", 1)
modparam("dmq_usrloc", "batch_size", 4000)
modparam("dmq_usrloc", "batch_usleep", 1000)
modparam("dmq_usrloc", "usrloc_domain", "location")


Where:  DMQ_REMOTE_SERVER  = sip:PublicIP2:5060

Hello,

have you tried the suggestion from Charles in the other response? It can help figuring out where the problem resides.

Now, from C point of view, I would need the following output from gdb of the core file:

frame 0
p *reason

frame 1
p *worker
p *current_job

I would also need to know the modparams for dmq and other dmq_* module, plus the list if modules for which you enabled dmq (eg, htable, dialog, presence, ...).

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello,

you have to provide the version of kamailio for each reported kamailio issue, otherwise is hard to match with the source code. Use 'kamailio -v' to get version details.

Hi,

Is there a way to broadcast KDMQ to the cluster but not expect a reply back !?as far as I've read the source code dmq_bcast_message is exactly like dmq_send_message in a way that it expects a callback to be executed on response i.e expects a reply.

So, the situation I'm facing is I'm broadcasting message to cluster and I do not want a reply back. The following two options result in crash & core dump.

1 - If my script doesn't respond back, by use of dmq_handle_message, it marks the destined servers as "inactive" and stops usrloc sync process which isn't desirable.
2 - If I respond back with the dmq_handle_message it crashes the Kamailio which just received this broadcasted message.

Here is how its done in script:

broadcasting message to cluster:
        dmq_bcast_message("userOnline", "$fu", "text/plain");

Receiving and handling a broadcast message:
route[DMQ_HANDLE] {
    if(!(is_method("KDMQ") || $rm == "KDMQ")) return;
   
    if(is_method("KDMQ") || $rm == "KDMQ"){
            if($rU =~ "userOnline"){
                    //user came online in cluster, resume transactions if-any suspended
                    $avp(remoteUser) = $rb;    
            }
            dmq_handle_message();
            exit;
    }
}

Any help or pointers to solve this would be really appreciated.
