Any thing better than five-nines is a much better sale pitch. LoL. BTW. My Cisco 7960s alows for a entry of a backup proxy.

I would have thought that it was a function of the phone how many servers it could register with, not a limitation of Asterisk. There are phones that can have more than one "presence" (line). I have never played with one, but I wonder if it is possible to get one to register as the same extensions number on two different servers. > Is this really the best pure Asterisk HA solution that's out there > right now? I think it needs a little work. I've been watching your trials and tribulations, and I wonder how often you are expecting an Asterisk box to go down? I have some Asterisk boxes and other Linux boxes with 200-300 days uptime. If you have your phones register on a 2-min interval, then provided Asterisk keeps running for (2min / 0.001%) = 139 days or more, then you have "five-nines" (99.999%) availability. And don't forget that if the phones re-register at 2-min intervals randomly spread, the AVERAGE downtime after a failure would only be one minute. It then becomes a question of whether it is cost-effective to strive for even better than that.
