[OpenSIPS-Users] Clusterer and failover

[Răzvan Crainea]

Hi, Igor!

You are right, the transactions are only persistent on a single server - 
if that server dies, you will loose the transaction. So you cannot 
ensure transaction failover.
However, you can still use the clusterer module to do dialog failover, 
since dialog is replicated across all nodes in the cluster. Hence if one 
goes down, you will have the data on all other nodes, and if a 
sequential message reaches any of those servers, they will be able to 
route it properly to the endpoint.
Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Răzvan
