[Asterisk-Users] Load balancing for each protocol

[Yves]

I was more thinking about a linux-ha heartbeat system between the 
redundant devices. The voicemail propagation is not a problem as I don't 
use it, and the dialplan is stored on a remote database (that's another 
problem to make redundant :) ).

The point I have to check now is how to configure GnuGK,SER & Asterisk 
to do round-robin routing.

I'm looking forward to see it work ... that's a really interesting project.
