Hello,

for authentication you should not use round-robin, for the observed reasons.

You could e.g., hash over the from URI, then all requests should end up on the 
same freeswitch for the authentication to work.

Here is an (old) discussion with some more content:

Subject: [SR-Users] Using Kamailio in front of Freeswitch for load balancing 
REG and Calls

Hello Awesome people,

I have configured Kamailio in front of two Freeswitch servers. I am using the 
dispatcher module to load and balance the traffic between the two FS boxes. My 
dispatcher is configured in a round-robin fashion.

If I send a register to my FS servers, the re-register post-challenge (401) 
message is routed to the second FS server and the registration fails. I want to 
check with you guys how are you handling this in your setups. I am sure a lot 
of companies are using Kamailio to load balance traffic toward the FS and 
Asterisk servers.

UAC --- > Kamailio --- > FS1
REG ---- > REG ---- > REG
401 <---- 401 < ---- 401

re-register with authorization data:
UAC --- > Kamailio --- > FS2
REG --- > REG  ---- > REG
401 <---- 401 < ---- 401

it just create this loop and register fails.

Ideally, I want Kamailio to send the re-register (with auth data) to the same 
FS server that challenged it.

Any ideas or pointers to fix this issue would be highly appreciated, maybe I am 
missing some very basic configuration. Or maybe there is another simpler way 
instead of using a dispatcher module.


Thank you!

Regards,
Shah Hussain
