How about setting up a high availability cluster using DRBD and Heartbeat? There is some good info on it on the Internet. In this type of setup you have two exact same servers running in parallel, and only one has the required services up. They keep themselves in sync. When the primary one goes down, the secondary instantly takes over. Active calls are though dropped, but after that everything is back to normal. There are various other options regarding which server will stay primary, or how and which services will be used on which server.
Another option I am exploring is using the same thing but in Proxmox with DRBD. Somebody told me it could be setup so that even the active calls are not dropped. I haven't set it up yet, but will try it when get time.

I mean we have developed our pbx with call features and routing on asterisk only. If we switch to some other software that means we will have to redo a lot of development again. I was thinking of using DUNDi and distributing the registrations on different servers. I just dont get one point. lets say if i have 2 users registered on different asterisk servers and... <snip> Sorry for second post, but I have a Polycom 501 registered to 3 servers. I hit the line button and if the server I pick is down, I don’t get a dial tone. Hope this is useful. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
