Thank you very much for your quick answer but probably I wasn't clear enough with my question. My real world scenario : ---My business is located in four different branches, using a private network. Every geographic branch has more or less 500-700 users. Is it possible to set up 4 different sipX servers(pbx,sip proxy etc), one in each branch ? That's why I referred to "load balancing", saying that a user in branch A wishing to talk to an other user in the same branch, will be served through the Branch A SipX server, but if users from different branches want to communicate, there will be call routing through different servers. Is that possible ? and is possible the use of TLS between proxies ?

I think the HA setup requires the same domain name for each. though you could probably run aliases(es) on them to back each other up. I'm not sure that's the approach you would want though. I believe HA is meant for a single entity. >>> "Tony Graziano" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/18/08 20:39 PM >>> Not really for load balancing as much as for high-availability. What you might find is that having two systems in remote locations does not do you a lot of good without a private network connection or without a sip aware firewall to connect the two systems. Load balancing to a remote server for SIP seems a bit far fetched to me. sipXecs is very sparse on its system requirements, so unless you have many thousands of users in one location, a remote system for load balancing is not an ideal solution (IMHO). SIP as a protocol is time sensitive to media, so you would typically want multiple servers closeby where your users are to eliminate latency. At the same time, since users "register", the availability of the registrar and the proxy to originate and receive calls are typically more crucial. So I think the answer to your question is "yes" if you are trying to run a high availability system, but it is not "load balancing" as you would run with a typical application server. Looking in the wiki for "High Availability" would find you this document for the current stable 3.10 version. http://sipxecs.sipfoundry.org/rep/sipXecs/branches/3.10/sipXregistry/doc/HaS etup.pdf Hope this answers that for you. >>> "dimitris(yahoo)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/18/08 17:09 PM >>> Hello everybody, I am new to SipX, and I have the following question : How is it possible to "connect" two or more SipX servers which are located in different locations for load balancing reasons? (one server in one location , the second in an other location etc with different domain names.) Is there any tutorial for this ?
