[asterisk-users] Load balance Asterisk servers?

[Aaron Daniel]

Incorrect :) IAX2 most definitely does support regcontext.

Also, I think what he means is the phone specific information must be
exactly the same from system to system or the failover won't be as
seamless as you expect.  A lot of phones support some sort of SRV
records, so in the event of a failure, the phones will automatically
find the next available server.  The other option there is to set up an
HA environment so the failover is even transparent to the phones, they
just start talking to the new IP address immediately.

Another thought, in any failover situation, if you have any sort of
automated failover, you must make sure phones that need specific
features fail to the same server (i.e. hinting and such) as those
features don't work cross server.
