[Freeswitch-users] Clustering FreeSWITCH

[Anthony Minessale]

This all seems right and would make a great wiki page.
What you have described *should* work.

when a phone registers try doing
sofia_contact <user at domain.com>
from the cli on each box and see what you get.

you can also use this function in the dialpan
${sofia_contact(user at domain.com)}

check that they are both using the same domain name as the profile name
or at least have an alais for it etc.

if it's a bug i can fix it pretty fast as that is the intended behaviour
perhaps you can join irc and get us in the box(s) to have a look at it as we

do not have that situation labbed up anywhere.
