Users register to (Open)SER which uses same DB as all Asterisk nodes. Asterisk Realtime engine lets change data in only one database to make changes global. (Open)SER does load-balancing and fail-over.
You can even put second (Open)SER server in case first dies and use DNS SRV to make it active. Database (DB) can be on same machine, but it better should be dedicated to only DB to serve only queries from all nodes. Possible to use MySQL Replication and have same DB on all nodes, which will save some processing power. But it's harder to manage. There're tools, choice is yours how you use them.

I think the user registers with the SER box. With loadbalancing an outgoing call can go through different Asterisk boxes: call #1 --> SER box #1 --> Asterisk box #1 --> destination call #2 --> SER box #1 --> Asterisk box #2 --> destination Regards, Patrick > On 8/28/07, Dovid B <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > We have a similar set up.
