I doubt it would be faster as asterisk will keep it all in memory, only changes might be slowed. But the thought is correct, use a database to store the data and one context that does a lookup into the database and populates your callerid. It is a better way of doing things. You could even host it in the ast_db and then it shouldn't be too slow as you aren't spawning any outside apps. > -----Original Message----- > From: Manuel Wenger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 18 June 2004 5:43 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Thousands of contexts? > > By reading the Wiki's I found out that an Asterisk server with many (>10000) > extensions and/or SIP users can become slow when reloading.
