2) Have two servers with the same dialplan. One in each location. Each server has it's own TDM cards installed. Phones on Site A will register with the server on Site A, and phones on Site B will register with the server on Site B. Then using Polycom phones, they will failover to using the server not on their site, if their primary isn't available. I have setup scripts to copy the dialplan from one server to the other then reload asterisk nightly. The biggest Con to this is I have to be sure my dialplans don't get different. The user's voicemail wouldn't be available until their primary server is back up, but that's OK.
Now you said you had two machines with the same dialplans. What happens when you go into fail over an someone leaves a voice message and it gets stuck on the other server? I think the key here is to treat functions as a cluster. IVRs, voicemail, phone calls, etc you need to have a redundant solution for each, not just a spare or redundant asterisk server. Then again you could be working on a small scale project where what I describe its not really important. _______________________________________________ --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
