[asterisk-users] connecting 2 FXS together

[Joao Ferreira gmail]

Hello all,

this might be a crazy question....

can I connect 2 FXS plugs to the same analog phone ?

my reason: I'm expecting that, with this setup, the phone could operate
transparently through the redundant FXS if the main FXS would fail... of
if asterisk is stopped on one of the servers...

the idea is that the users would not even realize one of the asterisks
is not working and the call was routed by the 'spare' asterisk...


            |------------|-------- FXS; asterisk1
PHONE ------|    shunt   |
            |------------|-------- FXS; asterisk2 (spare)


has anyone tried this ?

thanks in advance

Joao
