[asterisk-users] Asterisk on multi-homed systems

[James Texter III]

Hi Chris,
	I have a multi-homed setup, and haven't had any issues, though it's  
two separate network segments.  My Asterisk server has one NIC  
connected to our voice network (10.0.0.x), and one to our data network  
(192.168.x.x).  Most of my phones are connected to the voice network,  
but any remote workers connect via VPN, and the phone registers on the  
data network.

Thanks,

James Texter
