I use it to handle calls between multiple sites connected over a wan. It works great, I finally understood the concepts after the Astricon presentation on clustering with dundi.

And how is it working out?We have been playing with DUNDi in a configuration similar to JR's whitepaper. Everything seems to be working fine but we have encountered a couple hurdles. Maybe others on the list have encountered these as well. 1.) When a registration server fails there doesn't seem to be an easy way to have clients automatically register to a new server. (our clients are mostly other asterisk boxes.) To solve this we are considering using DNS failover. 2.) If you plan to do any direct routing using the fullcontact address like what is shown in JR's whitepaper, you may find that fullcontact sometimes contains private network addresses. This makes it impossible to route inbound calls directly to the client. Regards, David

The solution suggested was to, increased load not-withstanding, bring your phone registration period right down.

To solve this we are > considering using DNS failover.When registering with an Asterisk server to an Asterisk cluster of servers, for the purpose of traversing a NAT or something else (to solve a problem where direct contact cannot be performed), I would suggest doing multiple registration to two registration servers, using different names. Like registration [name1] to registration server 1 registration [name2] to registration server 2 in the outgoing dilaplan exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/server1......|j) exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,102,Dial(IAX2/server2...... so if server one is not there the call will jump to the next server or exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/server1&IAX2/server2............. first server to answer will get the call. you can do something similar calling from the cluster to the end Asterisk server dundi lookup for [name1] if not available lookup [name2]> > 2.)

Aaron Daniels helped me to get the realtime query working instead of using the mysql connect statements. [lookupmysql] include => invalid exten => _X.,1,RealTime(sippeers|name|${EXTEN}|DN_) exten => _X.,2,GotoIf($["${DN_ipaddr}" = ""]?${EXTEN},105:${EXTEN},3) exten => _X.,3,Set(directdial=${EXTEN}@${DN_ipaddr}:${DN_port}) exten => _X.,4,Dial(SIP/${directdial},15,rj) exten => _X.,5,Macro(sendtovm,${EXTEN}) exten => _X.,6,Hangup exten => _X.,105,Macro(sendtovm,${EXTEN}) exten => _X.,106,Hangup The RealTime command pulls all the entire record from the database and prepends all the fields with the last argument (here is have DN_) so when the record is pulled, all the records info is available as a variable like DN_port and DN_ipaddr. This is a really cool command. Hope this helps. -- JR Richardson Engineering for the Masses
