Uh... did you miss the last paragraph that talks about adding some IAX 
scalability features to * and asking for developer input?  :boggle:

Just in case you did, here it is again:

"I intend to also modify asterisk to allow some QoS checking to avoid 
the problems IaxTel had with scalability.  I would like some developer 
input on this.  My idea right now is to add an app to asterisk that 
listens on a port for a status packet that will be sent from a softphone 
or IAX-compatible device.  Asterisk would then reply with a packet that
would contain current CPU load, current mem load, and number of channels
up at that point.  I would also like to have the asterisk app know the
status of other IAX servers on that "network" and be able to reply with
the IP address of the "best" available server at that time."

Matthew
