Fun is good!

Anything is possible, it's just to what extreme do you want to go to make it happen. Right now we have no way of transporting arbitrary information (like MWI status) between servers. In the future however I'm hoping we'll have something. For now there's two er I mean three ways off the top of my head you could approach this.

1. Using ODBC storage to store your voicemail in a database and have each server setup against that database. The MWI will just query the database to see if there are messages, and since there will be... MWI will be sent to the phone.

2. Using the ability to execute an outside application that exists right now and using your own method to communicate back to turn on MWI (maybe generating a SIP NOTIFY to poke the phone with?).

3. Share the voicemail directory over something like NFS.
