Yes. At the moment. But read on... > > Our business has 2 offices, one in the UK and one on the US west coast. > The two offices are connected by a VPN.

Once it's fixed (by the end of the month) you can experiment with configuring it on a remote server. Ask again then: I'll tell you how to remove one sipXbridge per cluster limitation in sipXconfig. Independent of that: are you sure you want a single HA sipXecs and not 2 (or more) connected sipXecs installations. Why?
