Dear all,<br><br>i know that lua is preferable by FS devs and community, but here i want to ask questions particular to my use case<div><br></div><div><b>1. Current Setup</b></div><div><b><br></b>1.1 currently i am using xml_curl - for dialplan only</div>

<div>1.2 xml_curl.conf has two bindings so i am safe if first one dies</div><div>1.3 i am using apache + mono (.net) + mysql on another server (other than FS server)</div><div>1.4 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU  E5420  @ 2.50GHz 8 core with 8 gm ram (for both FS and apache+mysql server)</div>

<div><br></div><div><b>2. Call Life Cycle</b></div><div><br></div><div>2.1. call comes on internal profile</div><div>2.2. xml_curl ask xml from webserver</div><div>2.3 i do database query for each call and, return back possible supplier(s) based on dialed number and customer id</div>

<div>2.4 i return xml to bridge the call on external profile</div><div><br></div><div>Questiosn &amp; Concerns:<br><br>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</div>

<div>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? </div><div>3. Is LUA still be usefull as i am not doing any ivr etc.. its just xml conf which i have to return.</div>

<div>4. xml_curl based setup has good feature that i can serve  more FS servers, can i also do it in LUA?<br><br>Please ask me if i miss some information<br><br>Thanks</div><div><br></div>
