Your right using dialplan extensions for every server is not scaleable and will be a nightmare to manage. Yes the 20+ servers are remote servers connected to each other by fiber optic. I know passing rtp directly between phones will be bad for bandwidth as I cant use trunking. But then can I really have every machine in say a 50 machine asetrisk cluster have an IAX connection to every other.

My main issue is how do I connect say 50 remote asterisk servers to each other and make it easy to add more servers in future. > > -- regards Vikram (http://www.vicramresearch.com) _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
