SIP is the signalling, and RTP is the media stream.  For load-balancing of SIP calls to different servers, you're probably better served by OpenSIPS or a similar project (i.e. kamailio).  FreeSWITCH can readily interoperate with OpenSIPS and Kamailio.

I am very new to FreeSWITCH and would like to use it as a SIP load balancer to other (media) FreeSWITCH instances.  I was thinking of using the external SIP profile and bridging incoming calls to the media instances of FreeSWITCH using some rotation mechanism (round robin, least busy, etc)

My question is this:  Would I need to have a separate SIP profile for each media FreeSWITCH server or can I define a profile in such a way that I can dynamically specify the proxy for each call?

Thank you
Oleg
