IAX2 is a great protocol, it can do amazing things in saving bandwidth
(with the trunking feature) and it plays friendly with NAT. If you haven't
NAT or bandwitdh problem, I'll prefer SIP over IAX2.

There are several ways. The simplest will be to share via NFS the directory
holding the sound files. A more tricky one was to actually forward the call
to server 1 and play the sound files on it

2. I am also using .call file at times to make outgoing call to the user

The call can go from server1 to server2 and then use the local dahdi lines.
The audio part can be build on server1 as well.

Asterisk is a really flexible software, you can do always what you want and
usually, for every problems, there are few solutions...
