Thanks, William You said that you only have around 2-4 active calls at any one time, but when the system is paging out what does your call count look like? If you are doing a simultaneous call to 20 different people that would shoot the load up on your server. I would do some testing to figure out if the instability occurs after the page goes out. Also, make sure that the pages are being disconnected (so you don't have lingering channels being used) and that you aren't doing *any* transcoding on the page out. 'show channels' 'uptime' :) -- Kyle Sexton ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [asterisk-users] Some advice
so you are not talking about vanilla asterisk, there are some other applications involved. Paging by nature is resource intensive, but still not sure what else is going on in your system.

[Asterisk-Users] Some advice on routing DID's
Would like some advice on the best way to route DID's to remote asterisk servers. Currently I have multiple DID's on my main Asterisk server in a datacenter and have remote servers that connect via an IAX trunk and when a call comes into my server I pass it to the iax peer. Just wondering what the best way it is to do this without having to have multiple line contexts for each remote server.

I have written an agi script that I use for that. Then I can just have a list of dids and extensions in a db.
