What if asterisk was to start have more options for failover from an application perspective? Eg. Some form of heartbeat between the two servers. Within the heartbeat it could pass registration information and call information between servers. (Not sure if this is somehow possible already)
So if you were to use that with something like HA/clustering the backup server would always know what calls / registrations were active.

It doesn't even have a means of email notification if IAX or SIP registration fails. This would need to be added to the list of priorities. But I'm not sure who to address to. Most phone are controlled by their own software interface and have the ability to re-register at certain intervals (ex. every hour) but that is not much of a help and or acceptable if you are left without phone for one hour. So this is not an asterisk related problem but the software interface that controls the phones. The simplest solution would be to add email notification in such software and/or fail-over IP if one fails. But that is up to the hardware manufacture to come up with this solution. All asterisk could provide is just an email warning that certain phone failed to register. -- #Joseph On Thu, 2005-06-30 at 15:19 +0300, Mohamed A.
