I misstated that a bit. I'm interested in more of a weighting system
similar to that in SRV records. I'd still like to balance the load
across the lesser gateways just have a higher ratio go to gateway X.
I'm using callid hashing and the priority field seems to be ignored. It
does change the ordering in which the gateways are listed so I guess it
works with first destination but that would only give failover. Is there
a algorithm + priority combination that will do what I want?
as Alex said, priority helps with algorithm 8 (selection of first entry)
-- because with database is hard to predict the order of returned
records of a select, priority ensures that the destination with highest
priority is the first in dispatcher group list.
If you want to send 1/3 traffic to A and 2/3 traffic to B, you can add
the address of B two times in destination set.
Cheers,
