6. Your problem:

Hi. I have seen http://www.brekeke-sip.com/bbs/viewtopi ... c8cfba61fd but when looking through the Brekeke documentation I did not see an option for cntLoadBalance. Is my version to old or is it just not documented ? Also to make sure I understand what's written there if I want to round-robin between two servers I should have two rules for each "rule (so if I have 1 number and I want to load balance I would put in the rule twice ?

It is a user defined variable.
You can define your own variable name with the prefix "&".

The version 2.2.7.8 is pretty old..
Use the latest version because a old version's DialPlan will not work as Round Robin.

Yes

tairan:

I updated to the latest version and I will try it in a bit. Can you please explained user defined variable ? Is it something that I can set e.g. &foo=bar or is it variables that are not documented. If it's the first how does the system know to do load balancing ?

Also if one host is down what will the system do ? Will it go to the other one ? Is there any option to send OPTIONS to the hosts ?

Or can I have the hosts register with brekeke and it will send round robin to the ones that are registered ?

Thanks.

As an update I tried what was written in the URL and it did not work. It always just went to the second rule.

Yes, Right!

> If it's the first how does the system know to do load balancing ?

In the example you mentioned, the DialPlan is using &cntLoadBalance as the counter for balancing the load.

> Also if one host is down what will the system do ? Will it go to the other one ? Is there any option to send OPTIONS to the hosts ?
