I am working with Kamailio 5.0 dispatcher module. I am aiming at having two or more gateways receiving the traffic with load balancing, and when one fails, that the traffic is distributed among others. Currently, testing with 2 gw.
I see the options message going out (and not being answered). When I monitor with kamctl dispatcher dump, I never see the faulty gw going inactive (flags remain AP), and calls are still tried to the faulty gw.
"Best" result so far is with ds_probing_mode=1, the flags start at AX with both gateway up, then AP once they've replied to an OPTIONS, and even if I stop one, and OPTIONS is no longer replied, it stays at AP. when a call comes through, it is tried on this GW (3 invites), and then fails onto the other one. I was expecting that the gw would not be tried if inactive.
