Yeah; don't post this kind of message to this list unless you've verified it's 
a problem.  There are NUMEROUS places online to check routing to a host.  
Personally I use dnstools.com.  

Perhaps this isn't what you did, but it comes across as "I tried it, it didn't 
work so I immedately posted to a 10000+ user mailing list, MANY of who DO NOT 
use teliax, to see if anyone else was seeing it."

I won't go into the lack of thought, courtesy and effort that went into your 
email if that is truly the case.

As far as dialplan failover (yes I'm getting back on topic :-)

I use qualify statements for iax and sip; if a peer is unreachable then 
asterisk doesn't even attempt to place a call through them and your Dial() 
command will fail with (IIRC) CHANUNAVAIL.  You can check for this dialstatus 
and failover any way you like.

My personal dial macro looks a little like this (snipped here and there) -- I 
just include = nufone in the context(s) i want to allow to call through 
nufone, and then if dialstatus came back CHANUNAVAIL I deal with it by 
calling out the PRI.  Simple, easy failover.

Regards,
Andrew
