Hi,

Are the asterisk boxes on the same subnet ?
If so, you could setup an OpenBSD CARP combi.
It will also provide failover for when one of the boxes go
down. All you have to do then is to setup the load balancing
stuff in PF and you're set.
What's next is the voicemail and dialplan propagation on all
the boxes that take part in the loadbalance setup. Guess you
already have something in mind for that cause your post is
talking about connections.
