                <br>
                More or less is the same (forcing a call as load for a
                destination without actually doing LB) - in your case,
                what is different is the way you identify the
                destination - But if I'm not wrong, using the IP of the
                destination should work in both cases (when call comes
                form GW with IP X and when you force routing to GW with
                IP X).<br>

                        <div>Not sure if this is the right place to

                        <div>Load_balancer knows how many resources are
                          available for each gateway and keeps track of
                          active calls for each resource to distribute
                          the calls accordingly. This works well if the
                          gateways's calls always go through the

                          always the case.</div>

                        <div>Let's say I have a number of gateways for
                          termination and I use the load_balancer module
                          to distribute the calls. If there happen to be
                          some outgoing calls from these gateways, load
                          balancer would not know about them and the
                          number of active calls and available resources
                          would be inaccurate.</div>
                        <div><br>
                          <div class="gmail_extra">This can be fixed if
                            there was a function to add a call to a
