No. It's not. But there still exists the possibility even in a 
relatively stable situation that the software could crash or that 
hardware could fail.  It's best, when planning a highly-available 
solution, to plan for the unforeseen and not assume you can avoid all 
mishaps. Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that the software will 
NEVER fail. Hardware still might, and that would still mean a lost call 
unless there's a way to switch running calls over to a new server 
seamlessly.

Are there such ways? IP calls are especially troublesome in that regard.
