Thanks, But I think distributor module works for routing calls after FS receives them. I plan to have a cluster of FreeSwitches, so that I can balance the load of my incoming calls.
Yes, but we had FS at the head-end of a cluster of FS boxes. No one said FS can only sit at the core ;) The other benefit you get with it is ALG type functionality (with some configuration). DNS isn't a good way to do this as it has no sense of context of what is being sent (SRV does though, but is not widely supported by many ISPs or domain name providers, unless you run your own DNS servers) and will blindly RR between IPs whether it is up or down or worse hung ...so if you have 3 machine farm, and one of them is hung, 1 in 3 calls will fail. Proper load-balancing should have context and awareness of the application as well the downstream server to which the call should or should not be sent to if it's not capable of servicing the call.

Thanks Muhammad, that would be a good idea.
However, I'm trying direct routing mode of IPVS for load balancing along with Heartbeat for HA.
Could anyone of you guys suggest a better way to implement Load balancing and HA for FreeSwitch?
Thanks
