[Asterisk-Users] One * server unavailable when multiple serversconnected together

[Chris Coulthurst]

One thought (other than having multiple routes, we're assuming there
just isn't one to '305' here) could be to allow
intersystem-wide-and-KNOWN extensions to still receive their voicemail
by caching it locally with a default Allison voice for later delivery
attempts, not unlike email servers can do.  As far as implementation --
I'm clueless...just adding to the brainstorm.  I'm guessing it would be
an AGI of some sort...

|Hello.
|
|I was just brainstorming for a future project and was hoping to get
some
|creative ideas from the list. If I have multiple * servers at multiple
|locations all connected together with a nicely partitioned dialplan
(2XX
|for
|office 1, 3XX for office 2, etc.) it's pretty straightforward to link
them
|all using IAX and allow intra-office transfers.
|
|Further, servers at each location are necessary because access to the
PSTN
|is required in all offices.
|
|However, what do people do if a connection to one or more servers is
down.
|Let's say someone calls into office 1 and the person needs to be
|transferred
|to someone in office 2. The person who picked up the phone hits
blindxfer
|and 305 for example. Now, the Internet at either office 1 or office 2
is
|down, therefore the call cannot be completed. Since voicemail for 305
is on
|the server at office 2, the call cannot even get to voicemail.
|
|Any ideas on what to do? The only thing I came up with is to also
create
|local voicemail boxes that email the voicemail to the user when the
'net
|connection comes back. I was wondering if there were any more creative
|ideas.
|
|Thanks for reading.
