[Freeswitch-users] mod_conference with cluster ODBC

Sat Jan 8 01:29:04 MSK 2011

Even tho both of your approaches are good for a "small" scale system, I
think we are missing the point here.

If you don't need to have several conferences bridged because you don't lack
machine power to hold the conference onto one server, you can use ESL to
make an INVITE and then a REPLACES. If I am not mistaken, you are able to
use the uuid_simplify command to make the replaces after the bridge is done.
Although, most people looking to have multiple conferences on multiple
servers are looking for scalability where you can have one single (or
multiple) conferences spread over several boxes that can even be
geographically spread out look like a single conference to the user and/or
systems involved.

This is the real challenge and that might be worth thinking about hacking C,
the rest is just dialplan and a bit of ESL to make the control. The first
one is way out of my league.
