<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN>well it's a small office
with 40 - 50 sip extensions. Most of the users have both a hard phone and a
soft phone which is why there are so many sip extensions. There are only
about 15 users and a few other misc extensions for phones in public areas.
PRI access is via IAX to another asterisk server that contains all the
PRI hardware. There is a 4port Sangoma Analog card in the PBX for a few
local lines. I am planning on putting a second Sangoma card in the other
server for redundancy, but the physical analog connection doesn't have to be
automatically switched over on failure.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR><BR>I think heartbeat will suit you fine. The advantage of heartbeat
in your case that asterisk is not running on spare, so no trunks get confused
by double registering. Heartbeat permit to share one vertual address and pass
it from one server to another. Also i would recommend to use spare ethernet
interface/com port for "beats" So that 2 * get directly connected. Second
thing which is important, use watchdog to monitor the asterisk pid, if no
process > reboot. Of course you get the problem with voicemail, but you
need to just syncronize folders. Also forgot to mention that heartbeat has one
interesting feature as "autofallback= on|off" If set to on when primary server
come back he will retake his "resources" (*) if set to no, when he is ready he
will wait till the second server fail. I prefer to use with = no, but its just
me. Also do not forget to reduce the time of registering to 60 sek or so. I
hope i helped.<BR></DIV></DIV><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
