Our's is only  a SIP based system and we use SER in front of Asterisk  as 
SIP Proxy/Registrar. Asterisk is mainly used as a Media Server that plays 
IVR and for voice mails. Yes, it is highly scalable and database management 
is easy.  We dont have SIP peers for Asterisk. It just plays the IVR and 
routes the call back to SER when it receives dtmf.  As told  by OEJ in a 
mail off the list,  it is nothing but just a SIP call for Asterisk. 
Currently our system is under testing.

We are using only one box, SER is on 5060 and Asterisk on a different port.

Very true.
