Hi Nikos, Sorry I haven't reviewed this whole thread in detail but was caught by .. "bearerbox will not start unless all smscs are available." .. this worried me a bit.
I'm concerned that in a DR scenario if 1 connection is down (and not coming up just yet) then I would like to be able to (re)start no problem (the other connections would start with this one remaining down .. trying to bind, etc). Is there not an alternative option in terms of (from init.d/startup perspective) start isolated, allowing some time (seconds) for the available connections to bind then setting the connections to active. Or have I missed the point here. Apologies if I'm muddying the water. I will try and follow more closely.
