On second thought, Joao may be right. If the conference is spread accross 10 servers, and one crashes, it keeps the other users chatting. A->B->C->D->A. C crashes, the conference on B has to become aware, and immediately connect to D. I don't know if such failover exists in mod_conference or even if having conferences circularly linked would cause a feedback. If they are circularly linked and only one fails, it should still work even without failover. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Madovsky" <infos@madovsky.org> To: "FreeSWITCH Users Help" <freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org> Sent: Friday, January 07, 2011 3:31 PM Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] mod_conference with cluster ODBC it's what I thought first, but Joao is not hot for that apparently. for now I had another idea as I don't want to spread the same conference in several servers.

I am thinking about having a table on the central SQLServer like this: ConferenceName, ServerName. . I would lookup the server a particular conference is on and then transfer the caller to that server and extension that will put the caller into the appropriate conference (dial something..@SERVER)- I guess. I've seen the export word that maybe the way to pass on variables to the other server such as the ConferenceName, UserName Then the server hosting the conference will have an extension that has the forums profile and controls <action application="conference" data="${ConferenceName}@forums"/> That way all the users are in the same conference and can be controlled there instead of having only one link to a bunch of callers on another server. If you get it going, could you email the dial strings, extensions you used.etc.I am curious..

(giggles) A conference means that the audio needs to mixed in together so that all participants can talk/hear each other, right? If you implement something in C on mod_conference, you are going to essentially do the same as what an ESL app does. You _need_ to call in from one server to the other so that you can mix the audio of all the participants. The real advantage would be the management API being only one for everything and the challenge is exactly that. How to mute certain users on a conference that is spanning over 10 servers or deaf them, etc... A SIP "user" is easier because you don't have to bridge audio from another server necessarily. Got it?

Or maybe create a param in mod_conference that let the choice of the admin to manage unique name in all cluster or not. like <param name="cluster_unique_name" value="true"/> I will try to understand the C code to hack something like this... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rupa Schomaker" <rupa@rupa.com> To: "FreeSWITCH Users Help" <freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org> Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2011 3:01 PM Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] mod_conference with cluster ODBC Yes On Thu, Jan 6, 2011 at 1:40 PM, Madovsky <infos@madovsky.org> wrote: > in case of you have 8 servers you have to do it for each ? > > Thanks > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: joy this > To: FreeSWITCH Users Help > Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2011 2:51 AM > Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] mod_conference with cluster ODBC > It works.
