Dear all, i know that lua is preferable by FS devs and community, but here i want to ask questions particular to my use case *1. Current Setup* * *1.1 currently i am using xml_curl - for dialplan only 1.2 xml_curl.conf has two bindings so i am safe if first one dies 1.3 i am using apache + mono (.net) + mysql on another server (other than FS server) 1.4 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5420 @ 2.50GHz 8 core with 8 gm ram (for both FS and apache+mysql server) *2. Call Life Cycle* 2.1. call comes on internal profile 2.2. xml_curl ask xml from webserver 2.3 i do database query for each call and, return back possible supplier(s) based on dialed number and customer id 2.4 i return xml to bridge the call on external profile Questiosn & Concerns: 1. So with above setup i am not able to reach more than 60 cps (most probably issue with my xml_curl backend), so i am thinking to try LUA 2. but one point is clicking my mind that, in case of xml_curl the webserver can be on external server, and xml_curl conf could have primary and backup binding, can i achieve that in LUA too? 3. Is LUA still be usefull as i am not doing any ivr etc.. its just xml conf which i have to return. 4. xml_curl based setup has good feature that i can serve more FS servers, can i also do it in LUA? Please ask me if i miss some information Thanks
