[cisco-bba] cisco-bba Digest, Vol 56, Issue 4

[Andy Saykao]

I love to use dispatch mode but the silly Cisco Call Manager 5.1 servers
only support 1 IP address and as such we can't bound any further IP's to
the NIC or loopback.

Your problem is not SLB, it's NAT.  There isn't any mechanism in IOS (at
least that I"m aware of) or rewrite SIP messages to contain the right
addresses.

Perhaps the best option is to ditch SLB + NAT and go to dispatch  mode,
where the real servers are aware of the virutal addresses via directly
connected (ie: loopback address).  Of course you'll have a problem with
UDP based SIP (my guess).
