Thanks Darrick. Yes I think it should be fine if I keep the registration timer fairly high. Unfortunately I use the ASTDB for my configuration so I cant really remove it from the key disk.
I will let you know if I can get it to work.

I'm not familiar with the Aastra phones. I would not be concerned about excessive writes from astdb. Most good cf cards use wear leveling to spread the writes out over the device. Look at the specifics for the flash device you're using, but I don't think it will be an issue. If you really want this to be in ram and not on the key disk, you simply can remove the astdb file from the key disk, reboot and astdb will be /tmp/astdb instead of a symlink to the file on the key disk.
