[Asterisk-Users] regexten

[Douglas Garstang]

Well, I finally got it to work. Such a shame I can't use it. I didn't realise it until I'd expended all the effort, but this approach doesn't give you a HA asterisk solution. If the server that the phone is registered to goes down, no Asterisk system knows the location of the phones that where registered to it. If you had 3 Asterisk boxes, 1/3 of your users suddenly can't receive calls. Not HA!

	you still have static entries in context [sip_autoreg]
	in extensions.conf, and use the same context for
	entries generated by regexten - regcontext=sip_autoreg
