[OpenSIPS-Users] Paid Consultation Request

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Geoffrey,

I'm sorry for the outcome, but I think you are missing the most 
important aspect here:

nobody was flaming or reluctant to offer you support - but reviewing a 
production script from 0 in 2 hours it is fantasy job. That was what all 
the people tried to explain you.

I, as a consultant, wouldn't compromise the quality of my work in order 
to do a best effort jobs - to do the best in reviewing a totally new 
production script in couple of hours. Last time when I did something 
similar, it took 2 days!

So, bottom line, nobody wanted to commit for something that cannot be 
done. Nobody wanted to do a lauzy job just to take your money. Because 
what you were requesting was not possible - that was the only issue.


Anyhow, you lost the opportunity to use a real load-balancer module 
(with load monitoring and call tracking) for your platform :P..

Regards,
Bogdan
