That would be fine, if Asterisk was capable of buffering recording
writes, but I'm told it's not; the I/O involved in getting that
recording data off the box in real time is probably worse than that of
putting it onto disk -- disks are usually higher bandwidth channels
than network adapters.

For permanent storage, certainly, the recordings should be moved to
another box, and that's how we do it here.
