Tarek,

Thank you for your response.  I am going with the load balancing idea.

I would suggest using a Vyatta based server to Run Asterisk on or behind..
and use the load balance feature to forward your incoming connections to the
Asterisk server this will create one default gateway for your asterisk
server so you won't have to have two separate networks identified.. nor two
NICs. or identify two ports on the server forwarding one of them to the
original binding port of Asterisk.

if it wasn't for the Default gateway .. it would have been easy to do some
port forwarding on the internet router side. but Asterisk needs to
communicate with the internet to send packets back. 
this is one of the scenarios i can think of. and can be done in 20 minutes.
well it can be expensive if you calculate the costs of an additional
computer on the network. :S

Subject: [asterisk-users] redundant traffic

Hello, I?ve got a customer that wants me to set up their single Asterisk
server so that they can receive redundant traffic streams from their
origination provider.  They want the traffic broadcast to 2 static IP
addresses on the Asterisk server for redundancy.  Their they want to be sure
to receive traffic if one of their subnets/gateways goes down. As I
understand it, having the two IP's set up to receive redundant information
as possible in Linux, but I wonder how (or if it's even possible) to address
this in Asterisk. As anybody ever done this?  Claude
