[Asterisk-Users] uniqueid with multiple asterisk hosts

Since it could be possible that a record with the same uniqueid is written to the cdr-table by both machines i'm lookin for a patch that helps asterisk to produce "real unique" uniqueid's(don't know why this is not a standard feature anyways).

Hi,
it's more 2 years since we build our first Asterisk cluster and I have 
been patching releases ever since with regards to the missing systemname 
so it would be really nice someone could get one of the patches into 
cvs.(sorry svn).
I use the 'hostname' during asterisk start to lookup an 'hostindex' to 
have as small key as possible. The reason for this is that I use it as 
part of unique key in 'realtime' to enable realtime DB to be shared 
between multiple Asterisk servers.
We take care of sip NAT issues by taking the hostidx from the newest 
registration in realtime DB and route the call through that server.
