Re: [Asterisk-Users] Conferencing with multiple servers
In general, you are talking of distributed conferencing, which in SIP it was tried once to standardize but never reached anything. It is just not commercially popular, i guess. Now, this doesn't mean that it cannot be done or that it has not been done ... but it is propietary implementations. And in my particular knowledge, i know asterisk was not the choice. Just my 2 cents.

[Asterisk-Users] Conferencing with multiple servers
Hi, I am trying to join 2 asterisk servers together using a sip channel. This is so, if a user joins a conference on box A and another user joins a conference on box B, providing they are in the same conference room, the two conferences are joined via the sip channel. We only want to join the conferences together if they have users in them and we don't want to point all the conferences to one server as we would like to try to balance the load a bit. Any ideas on how to impliment this?

Any ideas on how to impliment this? Nope, never tried but I guess you could use something like app_bridge to do it. Check out http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=5841 Maybe you can also do it with the manager interface (search for AMI on voip-info.org). Good luck and let us know how it goes.
