About a week ago I was trying to do a very similar thing (put sipXecs on a multi homed box). You can solve DHCP issues easily enough (configuration of a DHCP server isn't part of sipxecs, if that's your only problem I can help you set up ISC dhcpd or DNSMASQ) but I was advised by several folks on this list that sipXecs has a number of issues running on a box with multiple interfaces and isn't designed to do so.
I got one comment that Nortel sells a commercial version of sipxecs that *does* work multi-homed so someone has gone down this road and fixed the various issues but not in the open source version. The first non-setup problem I ran into fwiw was that the freeswitch config files were being generated in such a way as to cause freeswitch to internally bind to the 'wrong' ip address. This is easy enough to fix but I didn't want to go deeper down the rabbit hole. Here's a reference to the thread from last week: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users/msg20703.html -Eric On Jan 23, 2010, at 12:33 PM, Andrew Cotter wrote: > Hello, > > I am stuck in a situation right now with a network admin insisting on > getting a second IP on a sipx box that is on a totally separate subnet.
