asterisk users - Oct 2010 - Same extension registering over eth0 and eth1

Hello list,

I need to know how to deal with a redundant network with only one asterisk
server, which is receiving registrations from the end points on both of its
ethernet ports. This means extension 201 is registering both from eth0 and
from eth1.

Is there a way/software which can act as a middle man between asterisk and
the ethernet ports, and by default sends registrations to asterisk only from
eth0, and if this port fails, sends registration coming in from eth1?

DNS SRV or a SIP proxy.

Will OpenSIPs do the job?

Any proxy would work, however I would re think your network design.

Re-registering the same phone, with the same extension, on the same
PBX is asking for trouble.  If you want to do redundancy, I would set
your network so only one ethernet route is active at one time, then it
is a matter or routing.  If you want both ethernet ports active, then
you are doing load balancing.  Something Asterisk by itself is not
strong at.  Hence the SIP proxy or DNS SRV records.

Rob, you are the man. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Any reason you cant change the asterisk server to bond the 2 nics together ?
We use bonded nics a lot to provide resilient networks, and as far as any
apps on the server are concerned, you are only talking to a single interface
bond0 instead of eth0 and eth1.
