[Asterisk-Users] vm notif

[Curt Moore]

To answer your question, no, not easily. The way that the Asterisk voicemail 
system is architected, it looks at ths SIP registration, I'm assuming the 
Cisco phone is using SIP, and will send the appropriate NOTIFY messages to 
the SIP account as specified in the mailbox field for the user as specified 
in sip.conf. Since the phone is registered to Asterisk A instead of Asterisk 
B, the voicemail system on Asterisk B does not see the phone as being 
registered and consequently does not see the need to send a NOTIFY, let 
alone where to send the NOTIFY.

A solution to this would be to mount the voicemail directory from Asterisk B 
to Asterisk A via some networked filesystem, such as NFS. This would allow 
Asterisk A to have access to both the registration information and the 
voicemail files, therefore allowing Asterisk A to know that there are 
voicemail messages and consequently send the appropriate messages to the 
phone.

There are many things which become much more difficult as you try to scale 
past 1 Asterisk server. Much of this stems from the fact that, from its 
inception, Asterisk was never designed or meant to be a clustered softswitch 
but instead to be an office type PBX. That being said, much work has been 
done recently in order to make Asterisk more friendly to being scaled past 1 
server and can be made to do this quite well with some knowledge of the 
underlying protocols and networking infastructure functions.
