I've not tried one, but you could use Red-Fone's foneBridge which is a
T1 (dual or quad span ) "appliance" which your T1'a connect to and then
it connects to the asterisk box via ether. This is exactly what this was
bx was built for.

Has anyone looked at using the CARP protocol to share virtual IPs between
two servers? This was developed on OpenBSD but looks like it has been
ported to Linux as Ucarp. I use it for our two OpenBSD firewalls and the
switchover to the secondary server is instantaneous. You would need a
second NIC in each server to run the pfsync protocol between them. This is
great for maintenance too. You just down the server you want to work on.
Trickier if a T1 is attached of course.
I don't know if Asterisk is working well on OpenBSD because of Zap driver
problems but I would like to give it a shot some time. I noticed that Asterisk
is in the packages.

The problem is those pesky TTLs. I believe the big resi providers (ie: Sympatico & Rogers) are
manipulating them, so even though you have yours set to 1 hour or whatever, your customers
who get their DNS via their providers will be given something that's almost a week old. I'm not
sure if they've stopped this practice or not, but last time I checked, that's the way they operated.
Of course to get around it, you could easily ship your devices with your DNS servers set, but most
of that info is user configurable so they could bork it on you.

Although it is true that DNS is cached and round-robin DNS would cause a 50%
failure of calls in case one of the servers failed, DNS SRV is a different
animal.
"Smart" SIP endpoints know to look at all SRV records and the RFC provides
for priorities, so caching the DNS entry is not an issue.
