[OpenSIPS-Users] Load balancing with failover support

[Seth Schultz]

Hello,

I think I found the issue.  I was using a gateway DNS entry (sip:
some.host.net), which resolves to two different IP addresses.  When I add
the SBC addresses individually into my lb group, everything works as
expected.

Is there a known bug with the load balancer that prevents it from doing
failover properly with a DNS entry as opposed to an IP address?

Thanks,
Seth
