If the requirements are also simple, I'd be the last to argue with the simplest approach. In every case in which I've dealt with this, the requirements creep up and rapidly get more sophisticated once the initial proof of concept that just does plain old iterative dialing is in place. That progression of events will most likely visit upon the implementor a sense that better care should have been taken to plan ahead architecturally. > The AMI has been notorious for bogging down and halting systems when > used in an intensive way. I've never seen that, myself. But I have no trouble believing it. That problem - along with Asterisk's other scalability quirks - must be properly managed. More boxes to spread the calls onto and underutilising the hardware on each node is a better extreme to tend toward than the opposite. -- Alex -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
