[OpenSIPS-Users] combine dialplan and loadbalancer

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Albert,

you can use (instead of harcoded regexps in script) the dialplan module 
in front of LB for detecting the necessary resource.

Right now, indeed the LB function does not accept the resources list via 
variable, but I can take care of that. What you can do with the current 
code is to use the switch statement:

    dp_translate(....);
    switch ($avp(attrs) ) {
       case "pstn" :
             load_balance("1","pstn");
             break;
        case .....
     }

Regards,
Bogdan
