[Asterisk-Users] Re: load balancing 20 asterisk servers

[Kyle Loree]

How about a management server that polls the asterisk servers every 
minute with snmp to check cpu and ram cache, maybe even drive space.  
Then you could have a script decide whether the server can handle 
anymore connections.

I am still a beginner so I am not sure how you could have asterisk 
delegate calls to other servers.
would a redirect transfer remove the management server from the loop?

using loadbalancer?

these are just ideas I am tossing out here for you.
