We use Polycom 501 phone and register the phones to both systems, and use SIP peering to interconnect the two systems. We had been using IAX, but found that for some reason we were having trouble keeping that data stream in out QOS.

I would like to have the phones register to two servers, but be able to be seen by all four. I have been experimenting with OpenSips/Kamailio as a registration server and forwarding all SIP requests to the appropriate office, but that may have a larger learning curve than I would like for the timeframe I am working with.

I am sure someone has experience with this type of setup, and I was hoping that I could confirm that DUNDi might be the way to go, or if not, maybe point me in the right direction.

I wonder if one could use a realtime setup and store the registrations
in a common database.  I believe I read that is how one shares them
between Kamailio and Asterisk - John
