My application involves ALL remote users. I know I can use asterisk, and I do, but I prefer the sipx method, media flows end to end other than vm, etc. That is a much more powerful solution especially when it comes to video conferencing. The problem with the sipx distributed method is that it's not really a distributed system, it's really just a way of expanding capacity of the system. The main node always has to be in play otherwise, everything goes down. So, having a primary in one location, secondary machines in other locations, all via reliable non NAT networking still doesn't give me the redundancy I need to achieve. No matter how many secondary machines I have, there is always the problem of non of them being usable if the primary goes down. What I need is redundancy. The only way this seems possible is to have two sets of machines with identical accounts on both but then there is the matter of VM. Users will have their vm on one or the other system which is why I hoped there might be a way to either have two vm servers in sync or stand alone. While this might not mean HA on the vm side, it's something to work with at least which gets me closer to redundancy. For months, I've been trying to come up with a solution for this problem. Easy enough to have a redundant front end using SBC's but the sipx side eludes me. My primary need has been redundancy which is what I badly need.
