Hi Ricardo,

no, at the moment there is no automatically failover done from the 
carrierroute module. So if you want to route your calls to another gw, 
e.g. 'de-2', you must manual re-route it to another gw/ domain in the 
failure_route block.

E.g. route to domain 0 in route[..], route to domain 1 in failure_route.

I suppose you mean that 'de-1' is overloaded. No, the next domain is not 
automatically entered. This deficiency is known, and will be addressed in the 
future. But this code is not ready yet for a release.

You could use the lcr module, there exist a 'next_gw' function, if you don't 
want to manually specify the failure_routes.

Cheers,

Henning
