ESL connecting to a socket actually proves to be more scalable and more available with fewer components. Why not have N servers running your socket app with N servers running FreeSWITCH? OpenSIPS introduces its own issues with failover and I've yet to see DNS SRV be the reliability/scalability solution it's made out to be.

And just a general thought of using ESL vs an in process solution like mod_managed, or LUA.
My understanding is, that using a separate server/process does potentially give you another point of failure and, if you use a single ESL server application to control several FS boxes, potentially a single point of failure. It is fairly easy to build a scalable and reliable FS cluster and using DNS SRV and OpenSIPS in order to avoid any single points of failure. Having independent FS boxes that pull data, but can fail with little impact seems attractive to me,
