So there is a consensus that transaction based DNS load balancing is more preferable to the dialog based TCP connection reuse? Meaning that is preferred to have initial INVITE over proxy1, call hold reINVITE over proxy2 and BYE over proxy 3 having three TCP connections for one dialog. >If the administrator really wants to move the traffic to a different >server he can always close existing connections. Exactly, DNS balancing for TCP connections over dialogs makes perfect sense. DNS balancing on transaction level make less sense as long as the initial TCP connection is available. If I understood the replies correctly the current state of recommendation is that there is no requirement to reuse TCP connection inside a dialog.
