[Asterisk-Users] Clustering

[Douglas Garstang]

Kevin,
 
From the voip wiki at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+sip+regcontext:
 
"If regcontext is specified, Asterisk will dynamically create and destroy a NoOp priority 1 extension for a given peer who registers or unregisters with us"
 
What does this mean exactly? How is it used? I've read the same piece of information dozens of times over the last few months and it makes as much sense to me today, as it did back then, which is about zero.
 
Wow... IAX can be used to share registration info? I've never seen that mentioned anywhere. After reading the patchy docs on DUNDi, I kind of got the impression that it _might_ be able to do that sort of thing, but the docs where so bad they where useless. And while we're on the discussion topic, why doesn't Digium release some docs on DUNDi? It's their baby after all. It seems to be that almost no one uses it, simply because there's no docs that explain how to do it.
 
Alternatively, if you don't have time, can you point me to anywhere where instructions on how to use regcontent is succinctly and clearly documented and explained?
 
Doug.

	It's not broken. If you find some official documentation that says so,
	then it needs to be fixed. If you read it somewhere else, then that
	source is not something you should trust.
	
	regexten in sip.conf works just fine; it can easily be used to make an
	extension 'appear' and 'disappear' from the desired context based on the
	status of the peer's registration. If that context is then shared among
	the Asterisk servers (via DUNDi, IAX2 switches or some other technique),
	then calls to that extension will be handled by the server it registered
	to automatically.
