[arm-allstar] up again down again echolink servers

[Doug Crompton]

I do not see this problem here.  Server5 is basically defunct and could be removed from the server list. Otherwise I use the default servers as listed in the example image file. I think this is more a connection problem from you to the servers if in fact it is happening. You should see connection errors in the log - /var/log/asterisk/messages  like this

[Jul 29 23:37:15] ERROR[28253] chan_echolink.c: connect() failed to connect to the Echolink server server5.echolink.org

if you are getting errors. Again this particular one is an insignificant error I get on my system because I am too lazy to remove server5 from my config.

Are you getting a listing -  echolink dbdump - in the client? Can you lookup a specific user?

WA3DSP_Allstar*CLI> echolink dbget c WA3DSP-L
147090|WA3DSP-L|73.30.112.57

If you can then you are getting the data.

There are no user settings for timings in echolink.

Subject: [arm-allstar] up again down again echolink servers








well I fixed my two node issue, and moved on to trying to solve up and down 
echolink servers to my node. This is not an Allstar or Asterisk issue, but it is 
related to what are the proper server addresses to have in echolink.org
 
this issue has been experienced by several node owners in recent 
weeks.
 
I have tried server1.echolink.org, server3.echolink.org, 
server5.echolink.org and
naeast.echolink.org, nasouth.echolink.org, servers.echolink.org
some times they work, often they do not and based on ping testing they time 
out.
Q1. does anybody have more reliable server addresses to use?
Q2. is there away to increase the timeout and number of conection attempts 
to the servers?
Q3. is there any way to use a proxy to connect to the echolink servers in 
echolink.conf
 
So Doug does not get mad at me, this is not an Allstar Asterisk code issue, 
but rather intermittent response from echolink servers
 
Any thoughts
