Of course this solution can be broken by phones that cache DNS answers, and the phone may require a reboot to actually force it to go and contact the smart DNS server for a new ip address.

If your phones are setup to connect to the asterisk box by name, then a smart DNS server can just point phones to the backup box after failure.  However, since asterisk running on the backup box doesn't know about the phones, this is only half the solution

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk failover solution

Dear All,

 I am using Linux-High Availability between two Asterisk servers, everything is fine but I do have one problem with this, When a server fails and the other  assumes the ip address and start asterisk on server 2, the ip phone must re-register themselves again, otherwise the phones are dead.

 Does anyone have Ideas of how to overcome this.
