[asterisk-users] Source-IP on Asterisk DRBD/-HA-Cluster wrong

[Thorolf Godawa]

Hi all,

I installed a Linux-HA-cluster with DRBD and Asterisk 1.4 on it.

Actually it might work quite good, failover etc. works, even if this is
not a 0-downtime solution, because current calls are dropped and the
phones not are reachable until they reregister at the Asterisk.

It "might" work good, because my phones are not able to register at the
cluster-ip address, because the REGISTER arrives at the cluster-ip,
while Asterisk responds from the real host-ip of the active cluster-node.

The registration with the real ip works, but then I can't use any
failover solution.

I have already checked several solutions found at
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+High+Availability+Solutions
and some others returned by searching the net, but nothing that helped
me out.

I see three possible solutions:
- is there a parameter in Asterisk to set the source-ip?
- patching Asterisk to include such a parameter?
- would be changing the primary ip-address to the "cluster"-ip and
  changing the "real" host-ip to an alias, a good solution?

Thanks for any hints in advance,
