Re: [Openh323gk-users] How to set two GnuGKs to route full-proxied calls from different IP-zone?

[Bo Xu <box...@gm...>]

Thanks for all your help!  yes now I am trying to start only one GnuGK
instance and config it as multihomed instead of starting multiple
instances.

I have a question about how to set the "Home=" parameter in gatekeeper.ini:
my GnuGK is from CVS and built in centOS6.4,  I have tried the following 4
syntax:
Home=10.4.35.219,66.207.141.7
Home=0.0.0.0
Home=
or without "Home=" parameter

but I always got the following error when I start GnuGK:
Assertion fail: Function pthread_mutex_destroy failed, file
ptlib/unix/tlibthrd.cxx, line 1693, Error=2

if I just set one of my two IPs(like Home=10.4.35.219) then GnuGK works
fine, so could you tell me how to set the "Home=" parameter to start
multihomed GnuGK? Thanks!

Regards,
Bo Xu





Hi,

Sébastien is right, routing between multiple IPs on the same machine
is GnuGk's default mode of operation.

Just a quick note on the Bind= switch: Use it as a last resort.
GnuGk will auto-detect the IPs on the server, so in many cases you don't
even need a Home= switch. If you want to restrict the IPs GnuGk is using,
set a Home=. But always try to get it working without a Bind= switch first.
I've seen Bind= break more configs that it fixed.

Regards,
Jan
