[Freeswitch-users] move on from asterisk, the Random or rand function

[Michael Collins]

Good news, bad news:

The good news is that the XML dialplan is a very efficient way of handling
call routing. The bad news is that the XML dialplan is not a programming
language. There is no "rand" function, so you'll need to do something
different. One option is to use mod_distributor, however it is not "random"
so that may not work for you. The other option is to call Lua or system or
something and snag a random number.
