[Asterisk-Users] Multiple Asterisk servers sharing/propagating registry ?

[Chris Albertson]

One more idea.  How about this.  Only works with SIP,
not ZAP or the others.

You get a SIP router like "SER" all your SIP phones are set to
use SER as the proxy.  SER when it gets a registration will look
for "good" Asterisk servers and will resend the registration to
_each_ good Asterisk server.  

SER's config file is kind of "Perl-like" in that it is a fully
programmable programming language.  You can use redundant SER
servers with rund robin DNS if you need long up times.
