Failover with Dispatcher Module - sr-users

4 Feb 2021

Hi

I have setup dispatcher failover on Kamailio 5.1 as below. If destination X.X.X.X is down,
traffic should be routed to Y.Y.Y.Y.
The failover is working but every time after 30 sec Timeout. Is there a way to setup
health check properly so the failed destination can be ignored while it is down?

Your help is greatly appreciated,
AL
