Running a multi-server cluster running Version 2.14-670a that has 10 servers total. They are all running SVN 2973 and they were originally built using the v7 ISO. The 10 servers are tasked as follows:
1 DB / Web Server (no agents/asterisk/telephony)
1 Web/Telephony server running asterisk v11.21.2-vici
6 Web/Telephony servers running asterisk v11.22.0-vici
2 Web/Telephony servers running asterisk v13.27.0-vici
So - now for my question/issue - and this is definitely a new one for me. Whenever I run iax2 show peers like TSTh from the asterisk CLI of any of our telephony servers, one of the servers running asterisk v13.27.0-vici flips between two different IP addresses in the "Host" column of the resulting display. It's own - and our database server's IPv4 address. If I execute this show peers command repeatedly, it looks like it spends only about 5 - 10 seconds showing the DB Server's IPv4 address - and 30 - 40 seconds showing its own public IPv4 address. Here is a screen shot of the output I am seeing:
Until recently, this server was dormant/offline/inactive - this was because our hosting facility dropped the public IPv4 subnet its old address was in. Since it only represented about 75 trunks and 0 agents (of our 2,500 trunks / 200 agents) it wasn't a burning issue to get it back online - but - we recently got a new IP address for it, so I brought it back to life. Once they updated the public IP address on the box, I SSH'ed into it and did the rest (ran the ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl to update it from the old to the new IP address, checked the SIP.conf file to make sure the externip address was correct, checked the vicidial_servers table to make sure there weren't any left-over old IP addresses anywhere and double checked the astguiclient.conf file for accuracy as well). Once I believed all looked as it should, I restarted this server...plus it's been about a week since bringing this server online - so all of our servers have been restarted daily since then, and the problem persists.
Now, even though I've done this dozens (maybe hundreds) of times successfully on other servers, I can't help but think that I did something to screw this up - but I can't figure out what. Ever since I've brought this server back online, using it's new IP address - if I go to the CLI of any of the other telephony servers and run iax2 show peers like TST - sometimes it shows the new IP address - but other times it shows the public IP address of the DATABASE SERVER - an address it NEVER had. If I repeat the iax2 show peers like TST command over and over, it will revert back to the correct IP address - for a while - and then go back to the DB Server's IP address again.
Does anyone have any idea what .conf file I might have stepped on or how I can correct this? Thanks!
