[OpenSIPS-Users] Paid Consultation Request

[Norman Brandinger]

Geoff,

The old OpenSER/Kamailio site has a "business" mailing list that is 
dedicated to this type of topic.  Seems like a good idea to create a 
similar mailing list for the OpenSIPS folks.

I have to agree with Adrian's recent comments in regard to narrowing 
down the scope of your problem/request.

There are no doubt people out there that will take your money and not 
provide the value you're looking for.  You may not be happy with some of 
the responses to your request, but those that made the responses are 
really trying to help you look out for your own interests.

Since you're a network engineer, you should know that; 1) trying to load 
balance SIP traffic, and 2) using Asterisk to process the media of the 
load balanced traffic; isn't necessarily trivial.

If you've got something up and running in a lab environment error free, 
I congratulate you as you probably don't need any outside help.  
However, if you're throwing errors in your lab environment, as Adrian 
suggested, you might want to consider detailing the problem and asking 
for some help.

Regards,
Norm
