Perhaps you could tune the living crap out of Vmware's ESX kernel to do that, but at $6,000 / server I doubt this is within most people's reach. Also, the clock on all Vmware products is emulated, not based on a real-time clock, so most all real-time applications fail to work reliably on Vmware. > That kind of allocation > strategy is appropriate to the scaling demands: the real servers are > typically in linear proportion to the trunks and extensions, while > virtual application servers and gateways to other networks/servers/apps > scale nonlinearly/unpredictably, so benefit from virtualization.

Asterisk is most likely far to monolithic to be able to do that. > > On Mon, 2006-07-17 at 15:44 -0700, Erick Baum wrote: > > Maybe the new server product doesn't have this problem.
