<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How about a script to send a reboot command to the
phones during a switchover. I've seen a page in the wiki where (for Grandstream
phones) you can send a command via curl to reboot the phones (<A

Of course this may not be practical in every environment, depending on what
phones you have out there, etc. I wouldn't worry about interrupting any calls
because the server would have been down for the moment anyway.</FONT></DIV>

Asterisk failover solution</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Of course this solution can be broken by phones that cache DNS
answers, and the phone may require a reboot to actually force it to go and
contact the smart DNS server for a new ip

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk failover solution<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>Dear All,
<P> I am using Linux-High Availability between two Asterisk servers,
everything is fine but I do have one problem with this, When a server fails
and the other assumes the ip address and start asterisk on server 2,
the ip phone must re-register themselves again, otherwise the phones are
dead. </P>
<P> Does anyone have Ideas of how to overcome this. <BR> </P><PRE>--
Thx
