The VMR - voice mail routers or bridges or call whatever you want, are blackboxes,which means I can not modfiy anything. It's a TCP/IP traffic, that flows there. Here is the problem: when A sends B a packet, it passes trough a VMR, then to B. The reply should go trough the same VMR trough which came the A's packet. Imagine something like a "virtual circuit" or such. This requires, as i figured,to sync the sessions between the LB-A and LB-B. I am willing to write a patch to LVS to do it. I would like to hear possible problems/solutions and such. -- Yay! I've got a flying machine!
