You could use Xen on Fedora Core 6 and virtualize each instance if you feel the need is there.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/16/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Douglas Garstang</b> <<a href="mailto:dgarstang@oneeighty.com">

The dialplan, and config files, start to get very very complicated after you add more than a few companies. Combine that with having to have multiple extensions for a single function (our Queues are accessed by a regular extension but then have to dial another 'virtual' extension so that DUNDi can work out the 'primary' server for a queue) and so on. Anyway, it's becoming unmanagable.
