Hi Douglas,

Yes, MWI works fine as each Asterisk server looks after it's own set of 
registered users.  I am simply created a shared backend for voicemail 
storage (IMAP) and MySQL for voicemail configurations.  The missing 
piece is how to store personalised greetings in a shared backend.

Cheers,
Ray
