I am not making any GUI purchasing or GPL decisions until I see what comes of this blurb from another thread. It may change everything in a major way.

Basically we use MySQL to replicate from a central database to many Asterisk "nodes". (Or you could use MySQL Cluster.) All Asterisk servers read the sip friends, queues, etc. from their local MySQL database via Realtime. The users are distributed across the nodes. A bunch of custom scripts generate parts of the dialplan or are called via AGI in order to tell it where to route calls etc. We constantly check if all the Asterisk nodes respond to SIP packets, and should one of them ever fail to do so repeatedly a standby server takes it's place. This is done in less than 10 seconds without any manual interaction. The configuration is mainly done via command line tools to be easily scriptable. Additionally every user has access to a web interface where they can change their callforwarding rules, look at phonebooks, dialed numbers, missed calls, access voicemail, program their phone's keys, monitor queue status and so on ... The system provides all the phones with configuration (mass deployment), i.e. SIP settings, programmable keys, ringtones, ... All users are free to log in/out on their handsets or login at a different handset and have their private phonebook etc. available there (largely depends on the model). We are probably going to release our software in about 3 months or so (can't promise that, don't nail me down to it) under the GNU GPL.
