Hi all.
It would certainly be nice if GNU GK could handle ARQs for destinations to H.323 alias with e-mail addresses. Then, we could have users registered on different GNU GKs be able to call each other NOT ONLY by "dialedDigits", but by H.323 aliases as well.
Having seen how the Cisco MCM handles this, it seems to me it would not be much work to implement it on GNU GK:
1. check if destination H.323 alias includes the "@" symbol 2. assume everything that follows the @ is a domain 3. look for the gatekeeper responsible for this domain 4. LRQ this gatekeeper and let things happen normally.
Now the only problem is how can the GNU GK find the
gatekeeper responsible for this domain.
The Cisco MCM does this in two ways,
and either or both can be easily implemented:
1. when adding neighbour gatekeepers in the config file you specify
not only the "dialedDigits" prefix for that zone,
but a mail domain as well. If the destination alias,
uses a "known" mail domain, LRQ the neighbour gatekeeper.
2. if no neighbour gatekeeper has been specified in the config file
for a specific mail domain, then look up a specific DNS SRV
record for responsible gatekeeper in the DNS zone of this domain.Doesn't it sound like a nice feature for all those of us that do not simply have a closed VoIP group of users to communicate to, but deal with users from many different organizational domains?
