[asterisk-users] AsteriskNOW Web GUI

[bkruse]

I have seen many setups like this, and have done many myself.

With mysql-ndb you can do distributed databases and realtime
for numerous reasons. The point is to eliminate single point
of failure. Dual NIC cards, regular backups, clustering, load
balancing, there are tons of things you CAN do, if your willing.

You can setup all this up yourself in a matter of hours. I am not
sure if your are implying that another GUI can set it up, because
I doubt it. Who knows, if I get my hands on like a serverside language
like php, you could probably even do the mysql setup and what not
over binding to SSH (tcl/expect) and SSH.

Anyways, just my 2 cents,
