[OpenSIPS-Users] multiple registration

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi David (again :)),

This is a kind of old problem. Coding is not an issue, but logically 
speaking, it is :). When you deal with multiple contacts per AOR, what 
should be the logic when limiting the number of records
    1) discard old ones?
    2) discard new ones?

if you do 1) (like yahoo does), it will be messy as you have no 
mechanism to notify back a phone that it was unregistered (while 
refusing a new registration is perfectly clean)

if you do 2) , there is the problem you mentioned - and belief me, there 
is quite a common problem !

So, what you are looking is a way to have only one contact per AOR and 
any new contact will override the existing one, right?

Regards,
Bogdan
