On our phones, when you configure a backup proxy, the phone registers
simultaneously with both servers. I can do a sip show peers on either
server and see all the phones on the system. Not sure if it works for the
polycoms, which I'm just starting testing on, but works like a charm with
the Cisco's. This gives us the redundancy we need with the system, and
hopefully the Polycoms handle it well.

Don't quite follow. If the phones have a backup proxy configured, wouldn't that
mean they would only register with that backup proxy if the primary was
unavailable? In that case, they'd only be registered with a single proxy, not
two.
We're using polycom phones... they support DNS SRV and seem to work (mostly)
well. Phones haven't seemed to have been the issue.

Well, most phones have a backup proxy setting, so we've got
all our phones
configured to register with both servers using the backup
proxy, with an
outbound proxy set up so the phones can call out from any
server that's
available. We just got the outbound proxy stuff working, so we can
literally walk in the server room and unplug a call server
and only lose
calls that are in progress, and nobody would know the
difference. We just
got some polycoms in, I'm kinda excited to see how well they
handle the
redundancy. The way we have it set up, we can drop a whole
new server
into the cluster, change like 3 lines of dialplan code, and
add the server
to the proxy list and voila, another server handling more call load :)

Here's the $64,000 question... how are you handling
redundant registrations?

We've actually got two servers handling all the call volume,
and when one
server goes down, the other one fields all phone calls.
We're using a
combination of dialplan magic and dns to make it work. As
long as your
phones can handle multiple ip's for host records and you've got the
dialplan set up right, HA is fairly easy to get working right.

Well, I should say... Sporadically I can register to the
virtual ip.
Other times I can't.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Failover without SER
Hello all, I first want to thank everyone for all your
contributions.
I've building an asterisk system for a month or so now and without
everyone in the online asterisk community I wouldn't have
made it this
far yet. Thanks! ...ok, mushiness out of the way.. :)
I am looking for a failover and ultimately a load
balancing asterisk
solution. I've done a good bit of research and I haven't
really found
any information for implementing an Asterisk only failover or load
balancing solution. Everyone seems to use SER along with
asterisk to
accomplish this goal. SER with asterisk may be in my
future, but for now
I need to get this system up and running.
I've setup heartbeat (ultramonkey), and are able to take my
primary box
offline and have the second machine take over, but it isn't
working in
regards to asterisk. I can't register phones to the virtual
ip. I can
ssh into the virtual ip but my soft phones wont register.
I get the
following error. Is this normal?
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of setup
without the use
of SER?
