[asterisk-users] Load balancing Asterisk.

[Alex Balashov]

What do you mean by "hardware" options?  There are no ASIC-assisted SIP 
load balancers out there.  :-)  The embedded "hardware-based" options 
are load balancers built just like PCs - often on top of a UNIX kernel - 
that run a software application-aware load balancing suite.

Your best bet is a proxy for the round-robin part, and Linux-HA for the 
high availability of the proxy, as Grygoriy suggested.
