Tod,
Unfortunately there is no way to do an automatic failover with the current
Teliax setup. That was my first complaint to them when they migrated us to the
new Dashboard V2. We sure can configure our end to be fully redundant but in
their end we need a way to able to fail over rather than going in the dashboard
and switching the proxy manually.
I am seriously considering to move to VoicePulse that do offer redundant
proxy's in their end. I actually use VoicePulse as my back provider when Teliax
go down, just for the outbound calls. That was easy to configure if you have
two different providers...
But my problem is not with their proxy going down... Something have to do with
the broadband connectivity here. When they go down, they all 3 go down and
can't reconnect, period. I tried reload, restarting the asterisk services,
everything... Only reboot will do it.... I always get those weird cases to
crack :-)

I too have Teliax for a provider. Usually everything reconnects okay and I only
know about it from my logs. But I have occasionally seen times where calls
failed after an apparently successful reconnect occurred after a network
outage. In all those cases logging into the Asterisk CLI and issuing a reload
command has cleared the issue.
Question for Ionel: Teliax has the nasty habit of having a proxy drop out and
then requiring the end user to reconfigure to a different proxy. Have you
figured out a way to have Asterisk do an auto fail over to different proxies?
How did you do it?
