[Asterisk-Users] res_mysql.conf & DNS SRV lookup

[Douglas Garstang]

Are you kidding? Asterisk doesn't do SRV. If you read all the VOIP books out there, SRV lookups are _the_ way to achieve redundancy. Digium hasn't gotten to it I guess with their 'enterprise class' product though.

Hi friends,

 

I am using Real Time Asterisk Architecture where I have put the 

Sip users/peers and extensions defining the dialplan in tables in

a mysql database.

 

Currently, asterisk points to my single database server as configured:

 

------------------------------------------

/etc/asterisk/res_mysql.conf

------------------------------------------

[general]

dbhost = xxx

dbname = asterisk

dbuser = asterisk

dbpass = xxx

dbport = 3306

dbsock = /tmp/mysql.sock

But what I want to do is to set "dbhost" in "/etc/asterisk/res_mysql.conf" to

point asterisk to a DNS SRV record so that I can implement mysql redundancy.

 

I defined the SRV record in our DNS server and put it in "dbhost" field in "/etc/asterisk/res_mysql.conf"

but asterisk wouldn't start up!

 

Can anyone tell me if asterisk mysql drivers support DNS SRV records lookup?!

 

If not, how can I achieve this?!

 

Thanks

 

ramin
