Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Running Multiple Instances of Asterisk
Doug,
Why do you want to do this to begin with? I think the best
solution is
Because we are trying to build a hosted IPT solution, not an enterprise
solution.
to use the realtime stuff, and build your own management tools, which
would allow you to do this (you could drastically cut the complexity
with the right tools). Even if you could run them together, how
would you put everything on the appropriate ports? How would you deal
with multiple instances accessing hardware?
Realtime is resource intensive, requiring many queries to perform simple
lookups. We can easily create multiple virtual IP address, and since each
virtual IP address can bind to port 5060, each phone can register with
domain.com:5060 without a problem. We don't need multiple instances to access
hardware as this is a SIP only solution. Our PSTN access is via external
Audiocodes gateways, not via Digium T1 cards.
The dial plan was not able to handle the complexity we needed (for example the
MySQL() application command could not do nested queries), and so right now, we
have a 2000 line python script and several very complex MySQL stored
procedures in order to fulfull our requirements.
I'm not convinced that maintaining the config files, binaries
and other
components of multiple asterisk's is easier than just building better
tools to configure one.
I am. I look at our configuration which is currently for one customer, and
there's already several dozen contexts in order to cover a lot of complexity.
Multiply that by a couple of hundred, and I won't want to be administering it!
You could also try User-Mode-Linux or something like that.
I was going to give v-servers a try. There's a guide at:
