The problem occurs in the subscribe message, I believe. The phone sends it's subscribe message to whatever server it's registered to, so only that server will know about it. I know D. Garstang has done a lot of painful work on multiple clustered asterisk servers attempting to do stuff like this with SER, but we haven't done anything to that extent yet. There are probably a number of code modifications we could make to replicate the information from server to server, but it seems like that would start to get somewhat unruly. -- Aaron Daniel Computer Systems Technician Sam Houston State University [EMAIL PROTECTED] (936) 294-4198 _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
