[asterisk-users] Make asterisk cluster appear and operate as a single server?

[Sam Govind]

Hey,
Why do you think using OpenSIPs is not going to work for you ? You can
always add SIP trunks on openSips and based upon which trunks getting the
call you can LB or/and FO to as many asterisk servers as you want !

Regards,
