Sebastian, I'm running into the same problem as you... I'm running GnuGK 2.0.6 on a 500mhz PIII with 512MB in full proxy mode with almost 4000 enteries in my rewrite table. Also the radius and MySQL are running on this box. This allows me to run 2 full T1's (total of 46 channels) at 100% utilization on the T's, and the CPU usage is up around 50% at peak.. I have one more T1 getting ready to open up, as soon as my harris people configure it correctly. So it will be interesting to see the load when that traffic starts coming through... To do the balancing, you can limit the number of calls on one GK and send anything over to an alternate gatekeeper. Things to look at under [Gatekeeper::Main] are "RedirectGK" and "AlternateGKs" As to the capacity... TOP is a wonderful command to watch the load on your machine. Keep an eye on the CPU usage, and the memory. With our current setup I am saying we can run 3 full t1's and possibly 4 if we're lucky on the one box. Now if I take off radius, and MySQL we could probably open it up further. I haven't gotten around to the balancing part of it, but soon will (hopefully!). We plan on doing some funky things in the near future with our routing. So as soon as I get new hardware, I'll be able to play again! Hard to play on a production box...

I need somebody help configuring this I want to use 1 GK for some clients and other GK for other clients, with different Rewrite Rules. Too I have A lot of Cisco 5300, that are registeres against first GK. First GK is running with GKRouted=1, H245Routed=1. I have first listening on an IP Address and second one on other.... too these machines can see each other because they are connected too to a Switch. I need to know how many concurrent calls GNUGK can suppor... because I want to distribute it between two GK's. Other problem, when I place a call on second GK, and then route the call to Cisco 5300, calls hangs after 2 minuts. Before on this list a guy told me that it is because Cisco can be registered against only one GK (first one) and how first GK is runnning in GKROuted and H245Routed, all calls have to pass on first one. I tried to make is work configuring like neighbours and it works, but I think all calls are processed by first GK and I don't know if GNUGK can process 300 simultaneus calls.... that's the reason I want to use 2 GK's. Some clue?... How can I do that?... there is a manner to distribute charge?.... All GW has to be registered against 1 GK because I use same GW to route calls for first and second GK. Sorry my english, but I only speak spanish, if someone speak spanish please contact me and I am going to explain it more clearly.... TX Sebastian.
