Baniel,
        SIP HA is available - it may just take some configuration. I know 
/ have worked on systems that provide in dialog failover. The posting from 
Jason(?) below stating that the address is not used, from and to tags are 
used to correlate messages with existing dialogs, is appropriate.
 Regards,
        Wayne.

Well we can get into a long conceptual discussion here... In my opinion 
SIP does provide some nice recoverability/HA built-in support, by having 
state/path info incorporated in the messages (e.g Route list, Contact 
etc).

The gist is that Sip signalling does not support high-availability. Which 
is quite odd as a number of telephony and ATM signalling protocols support 
HA.

what is the IP address of the b2bua as the SIP
