  Use a local mysql server on those hosts, use cdr_mysql, then write a
  script to pull the CDR records from the DB daily/hourly into a master CDR
  server, where you can run your billing from.

  Alternatively, you could set up asterisk to rotate the CSV it uses for
  native CDR, grab the file daily/hourly, put it into a mysql db locally,
  then run billing.

  PS, please don't call me.
