Mike,

Enswitch will scale to this level and well beyond. Please see:

http://integrics.com/products/enswitch/

It's primarily aimed at hosted PBX providers, ITSPs, and other 
commercial telephony services, so will have a lot of billing and 
customer management features your customer is unlikely to need, but 
these are easily ignored. It has the advantage that it's in widespread 
production today with large customers, and handles the problems of 
scalability and failover/redundancy.

If you're interested in talking further, please give me a call on either 
of the numbers below, or drop me an email off-list.
