[SR-Users] Simple Kamailio configuration for Asterisk load balancing?

[Tickling Contest]

Thanks for your note, Alex, but asking for a reasonable admin is hardly
presumptuous; indeed saying that it is presumptuous is very questionable. I
have had to do that myself having designed telco architecture and products
in painful (SW) detail for over a decade now, and I have seen boxes far
more complex and less complex all of which need OAM (invariably GUI based)
which the customer won't touch without. We all have different ways by which
we use products...

That said, you are saying "dammit, spend some time with this thing."

Point taken.

Your other comment re: turn-key LB is something I will investigate. Thanks
for your time though.
