Using a sip proxy allows for extra redundancy. Since we supply the trunking facilities via the WAN, we have the ability to re-route calls directly to the branch offices in the event of a WAN failure at the main location. The other way, a WAN failure at he the main location renders both the main and remote branch locations down.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Phillips Sent: Monday, January 07, 2008 9:12 PM To: AstLinux Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] SIP Proxy Why are you registering the remote phones with a remote SIP proxy? Why not build a VPN with m0n0Wall and have the remote handsets connect directly to your AstLinux server at the local end? I have this solution implemented at a local Real Estate company and it works very well.
