[Freeswitch-users] Load Balance Trunks

[Rupa Schomaker]

I realize this is late, but...

There are so many ways to solve this.  My approach?

Use mod_lcr to define your trunks, mod_lcr will load balance (well
choose random order at each "cost" level).

use mod_nibblebill to keep track of your "account" for each trunk.
Have a cron job at midnight that resets your "balance".  When the
trunk hits 0 it'll disconnect any active calls and any new calls will
not complete on trunks that have a 0 balance.
