I thought that even working with realtime sip, SIP peers registration is kept in astDB (as running memory for asterisk), because I have a problem related to this - even with mysql databases synced with mysql replication, when my standby machine assumes production, none of my phones are known by the Asterisk running in the backup machine that assumes production, and so, I had to make a script to reboot all phones when the standby machine enters production so that they register with the backup server's Asterisk.
<br><br>Can this be done some other way? Is it DUNDI, regexten or regcontext usefull to avoid rebooting all phones so that they register again?<br><br>Thanks in advance,<br>Ricardo Carvalho.<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<br><br>You can do a lookup in the Msyql table, since the server who receives<br>the registration will store it in the database. In newer versions of<br>Asterisk, you also have the option of storing the system name of the
<br>server, so that you can redirect the call through that server out to<br>the client. With NAT, you have to send the call from the same IP<br>address in order to reach the client.<br><font color="#888888"><br>/O<br></font>
