[Asterisk-Users] Backup/Failover * Server

[John Todd]

I'd suggest using rsync to keep your /etc/asterisk directories up to 
date on the backup system.

Take a look on Google or Sourceforge for scripts to do hot failovers 
where one server will pick up the IP address of another during a 
problem, or there are also routing tricks you can do for this. 
Suffice to say, there is nothing inherent in Asterisk that provides 
"failover" at the IP layer; you'll need some generic external server 
redundancy tool to handle that.
