1. Install Ubuntu Server 8 on four machines, either real or VM.
3. Configure both FreeSWITCH boxes, and make sure they are both working.
4. Follow (most of) these instructions from Daniel Aliaman's blog. They were written for Asterisk, but since a SIP connection is a SIP connection, most of the document applies to FreeSWITCH:
The one problem I ran into was the IP address and port to which FreeSWITCH was bound. The default is to use the primary address, which works great out-of-the-box for everything else. When a client tried to register, all it got back was an ICMP error -- Destination Unreachable, Port Unreachable. That error is returned when no sockets are listening for UDP packets. To get FreeSWITCH to listen for your Virtual IP, you need to set it in two places:
5. In /opt/freeswitch/conf/vars.xml, set "bind_server_ip".
6. In /opt/freeswitch/conf/sip_profiles/internal.xml, set "sip-ip".
That should do it! If you have any success, please report to this list.
Keep in mind that if you want to do something like conferencing between two registered clients, then you have to deal with the fact that the clients may or may not be on the same box.

Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Load-Balance FreeSWITCH with Ultramonkey
I have been working with a similar setup myself, but for some reason I ended up ditching the
UltraMonkey setup because I just couldn't get it to work right.
It's been quite a while since my effort, so I don't remember what the exact issue was.
I got registrations to work, but had some other sip-dialog issues.
We have since then changed over to running OpenSIPs as a loadbalancer in front of
multiple FreeSWITCH instances. This setup is still in testing, but seemlingy works fine
(and if it doesn't, it's my own fault for writing a bad opensips config).
After we have done some more testing I can create a wiki-page with config details.
Best regards,
Even André
Thanks, Even, that would be great! I might have to give up on the ultramonkey solution, since I can't find anyone who has made it work. It's too bad, because it would fit well with the rest of our architecture.
