Hello,

to solve it temporarily (I also don't know of a manual ping), you can ofcourse kill the gateway "sofia ... killgw" and bring it back up using  a rescan of the profile ("sofia profile .... rescan reloadxml").
I suppose that the options-ping, like suggested below should work. I don't have any problem as far as I can say and I did quite some failover-tests.

Kind regards,

Michel

Not really the answer, but...

There's a gateway param called "ping", e.g:
<!--send an options ping every x seconds, failure will unregister and/or mark it down-->
<param name="ping" value="25"/>
Then if it's marked down (via 202 or 404 perhaps), any bridge string referencing that gateway will know it's down before contact it and move on. (with error code NETWORK_OUT_OF_ORDER)

You can see that showing up in the logs, and I think in the gateway status. I don't see a command to manually re-ping the gateway.

Hello,

I use an SRV record as the proxy value for a sofia gateway.  This
particular record is configured for failover rather than load
balancing.  In other words, there is only one record per priority.  I've
verified Freeswitch will advance to the second host if the first becomes
unavailable.

It seems Freeswitch waits around 10 minutes before it tries the first
host again.  Is this delay a configurable value?

Is there some kind of internal blacklist the failed host occupies before
this timer expires?  Is this list manageable from the CLI?

Besides a 408, are there other response codes that will land a host on
this apparent blacklist?
