I'm using the LCR module to send traffic based on just the prefix of the
number at the moment.
I have two gateway groups, one with a local provider to connect locally,
one with a larger one to do international calls (they can also connect
locally but with a higher price)..
When I call next_gw() will LCR use all possible gateway groups, or just
the gateway(s) in the first matching group?
The second question is tangential to the first, if it does send the
traffic to other gateway group after failing through the first, does it
regenerate the RURI, because the local provider wants a numerical prefix
on the calls I send, and the other one no (basically do I need to
account for this in my config?)

that depends on your lcr entries. if called number matches to all
entries, then all of their gateway groups will be selected.

does send the

yes, if you set priority correctly and tags properly.

Just the gateway(s) in the first matching group. If not, it doesn't make sense.

No, LCR will not add a prefix, you must do it.
When ou cal "load_gw(ARG)", just the gateway goups matching the
*current* RURI prefix and the PV used as ARG will be selected. Later,
if the first result fails, "next_gw()" will take out the second
result.

What's the prefix in the gateway table there for then?

So, to send it to the second group, I'd need to actually have a matching
entry pointing to it with a lower priority, correct?

Sorry if I wasn't clear, the prefix in the LCR module is for _matching_
the prefix of a RURI, correct?
The prefix in the gw Table should be added to the beginning of the RURI
before it is forwarded to the GW, but as you said, the added prefix is
discarded every time, then re added depending on the selected gateway
from the gw table, I if understand...

Yes:
http://kamailio.org/docs/modules/1.5.x/lcr.html
----------
For the purpose of facilitating least cost routing of requests, each
gateway belongs to a gateway group and each gateway group is
associated with one or more <prefix, from pattern, priority> tuples. A
gateway matches a request if user part of Request URI matches a prefix
and caller's URI matches a from pattern in a tuple that belongs to the
group of the gateway.
----------
The prefix in the gw Table should be added to the
beginning of the RURI
before it is forwarded to the GW, but as you said, the added prefix is
discarded every time,
What you mean with "the added prefix"? who adds that prefix?

What you mean with "the added prefix"? who adds that prefix? From the doc:
"Function next_gw() can then
be used to select one gateway at a time
for forwarding. Upon each call, user part of original Request URI is
first stripped by the number of characters as specified by the
gateway's strip count and then prefixed by gateway's tag."
The GW's tag is the prefix.

The prefix works ok.
From the doc:

first stripped by the number of characters as specified by the
gateway's strip count and then prefixed by gateway's tag."

ahh, ok, you mean the "tag". This is added to the RURI *after* mathing
the prefix against the original RURI.
