unfortunately you then cannot support presence. using another proxy for
presence is not a solution either, because same users need both presence
and other sip methods.
What exactly prevents me from using a dedicated presence server? And why
can't I support presence with db_mode=3?
E.g. if I just want to deploy a simple PA using the PRESENCE module, I
don't see any dependencies on USRLOC.
I'm not sure if PUA_USRLOC depends on db_mode<3, but at least the
documentation doesn't mention it. And it looks to me like I could use
pua_set_publish() from PUA_USRLOC to send a PUBLISH to my dedicated
presence server ;-) ... I haven't tried that though.
by the way, looks like presence related requests are by far the most
common ones if all sip UAs have presence turned on. it means that
presence would also create biggest db activity.
Yes, I know, SIP presence is very chatty.
