Hi Alex,
why do you need this?
here is needed config for you:
# first connection
group = smsc
smsc-id = mylink
allowed-smsc = mylink;mylink1
# second connection
group = smsc
smsc-id = mylink
allowed-smsc = mylink;mylink2
So you can send with &smsc=mylink and bearerbox loadbalance between
two links,
with &smsc=mylink[1|2] you can choose between two links.
In both cases DLRs added to DB with mylink as SMSC.
Why do you need dlr alias?
Thanks,
Alex

We were facing a problem when dealing with multiple binds to the
same carriers.
Some of the carriers we're working with have SMSC's on
twogeographically-distant places. They asked us to connect to both
of them from our also replicated kannel clients.
So, we have two identical connections on each of our servers to both
of their smsc's. This guarantees that I could use "&smsc=mylink" on
my send-sms url and kannel will choose one of the available links to
send the messages.
The problem is, in this particular scenario, the DLR for that MT
could come back from the _other_ link (which has a different "id"),
so even on the same server it wouldn't be possible to match the
incoming DLR with the records stored on the DB.
To solve this, I've created a patch that adds a new parameter to
SMSC connections: smsc-dlr-alias. This parameter, if not defined,
gets loaded with the value on smsc-id. If defined, that value is
used when inserting to/reading from the dlr database, making it
possible to find the dlr's despite being created on another bind.
Please see this post for more info and the patch:
