We use Asterisk in virtual machines for testing only, nothing in
productions.  We have been discussing production virtual Asterisk
servers but have not tested yet.  I would like to hear from anyone
running multiple Asterisk Virtual Machines on one or more servers in
production environment.

Researching found that Asterisk will not work well in a virtual
cluster OS implementation (multiple cluster nodes [think beowulf]) due
to SIP stack issues, multi threading across multiple RAM resources.
Can anyone shed some more light on why this is and is anyone trying to
improve this?

Thanks.
