[Asterisk-Users] load balancing 20 asterisk servers

    Actually, this is the easiest part. It doesn't matter how often a UA
registers nor does it matter to which of the 20 servers handles the
registration since all servers share the same database tables.

    Voicemail is not a problem. Again, all voicemails are stored in database
including the audio portions.


The problem with MeetMe conferences still bugs me.

I was un-aware that UDP had "sessions".

Keep in mind that all 20 servers are basically clones of eachother. They all
share the same extensions.conf, sip.conf, voicemail.conf (all via RealTime).
