Hello! We're looking for a solution to reliably load balance our Asterisk boxes. So far we've been using a hodge-podge of directing different services to different boxes/IPs, but eventually I'd like to consolidate things so we can present a single IP address to the outside world.
My question is - how do we go about doing that? I've read a lot of things like load-balancing via DUNDi or OpenSER, but it seems to me like these approaches just add to the list of possible failures. In other words I'd like to avoid software solutions. Is it possible to just put Asterisk behind a load balancer? I imagine most of them are optimized for web traffic rather than UDP voice packets. Does that matter? Would any load balancer do - or only specific models will work? my guess is any model will work, but some of them may not be able to handle the load. Any recommended models? I know there are some fancy LBs out there that can actually load balance based on the SIP session rather than something like IP, but I'm afraid to even look at the price tag. I'm more than fine with balancing by user IP address instead - if that works. :) Would appreciate any comments or ideas.
