throwing the question out there because it's becoming obvious that trying to
provision hundreds of customers on a cluster of Asterisk systems is going to be
very hard to manage.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=q>Has anyone ever tried to run multiple instances of
Asterisk on a single system, running each with a different username, and
each in a separate base directory? Something like /home/pbx/business-1,
home/pbx/business-2 etc?<BR><BR>Did it work? I assume for every service that
Asterisk runs, on each instance, you'd have to use a different port numbers,
which may get confusing. Each businesses phones would have to be configred
with different SIP ports then too. <BR><BR>What about processes? I notice
that Asterisk runs about 26 processes (or are they threads?) for a single
instance.<BR><BR></SPAN></DIV>
