[asterisk-users] SER with multiple asterisk deployment

It won't work, unless you make sure that transfers go through the same asterisk server as the orignal call went through. Using the SER dispatcher won't fix that.

How do you plan on choosing which Asterisk server to send the SIP requests? Truly random? Based on some sort of LCR methodology? 

Have you tried using the LCR module for SER to send the requests to asterisk? 

Not sure it would work, but it might be worth looking at.
