I'm trying to formulate a strategy for our interconnected Asterisk IAX peers to failover to the PSTN in the event of a DDoS. We currently use them like this:
DID--->PRI--->Primary Asterisk--->IAX--->On-site Asterisk--->SIP This works fine, and everyone is happy. One of my concerns, though, is if we get DDoS'd - which happens probably once every couple of years. I'd like to have the dialplan failover to PSTN to shunt calls to the PSTN--->User's cell number in the case of a DDoS attack. My current thinking is K.I.S.S - just put the user's cell as the next step in the dialplan. However, I'd like for this to be controllable - when things are working OK, I don't want the calls being routed to the cells *at all*. I also don't want to have an extensions.conf and an extensions_emergency.conf and do the _emergency as an commented out include. I'd like for it to be automatic i.e. Asterisk detects Internet latency is above a certain threshold, then automagically does the cell thing. Any suggestions? I fooled around in Google for about a half hour on this, and of course the Wiki was no help.
