Yes, I'd be inclined to use IAX rather than SIP, especially if bandwidth isn't particularly huge on the links between sites. > My main concern is the dialplan, I guess if the peer is not > local it would then go out the IAX or SIP gateway to the main > * server and then check in its dial plan/routing table there, correct? Have a play with switch => IAX2/otherbox/context in your dialplan on the satellite boxes. In a nutshell, if you put the switch at the end of the context your phones fall into when they make calls, * will try and match first on the local box's dialplan, then try and match on the remote box if that fails. This'll also allow you to "overload" pattern matches, for example, if you have one site which for whatever reason has its own dialout facilities, you can still use those without having to modify anything apart from that satellite * server.
