Hi Carlos and thanks for your answer. To begin with: I am a noob in all 
telephony/asterisk/ror fields, coming from a Classic ASP/MS background! I've 
been nosing around in RoR and Asterisk for the last month or so and have 
managed to create several RoR sites and to get an Asterisk server up and 
running so me and my boss can phone each other using softphone on a smartphone.

So, yes it's going to be fun! And again, thanks for your answer.

I've been saddled with recreating a running Asterisk PBX setup (with Ruby on 
Rails). Due to some wrangling between my client and the original developers I 
am not able to talk to the developers themselves but have been given full SSH 
access to their servers!

Jumping in without documentation or help when there is a questionable 
relationship between the client and developer...this should be a lot of fun.


The system offers PBX services to  ~10 small firms and connects via a SIP trunk 
to a Telecoms company.

Sounds way over-built, but since we don't know the intent of the architecture 
nor all the features expected, hard to say.

-          STUN server - is it necessary (given that there are many free STUN 
servers on the Internet), and why two?

I don't believe so.

-          Why have a separate Asterisk server for the trunk?
Can't think of any reason.

-          Is the Apache Message Queue server necessary?
"Necessary" is not something that can be answered.  In their environment as 
programmed, probably.  In general, can an Asterisk server run without it?  Yes. 
 A low-end single x86 server can easily support hundreds of endpoints and 
dozens of concurrent calls, with all Asterisk services running on a single 
server.
Do you have Asterisk expertise already?  RoR, SQL, other telephony...?
