asterisk users - Oct 2006 - Unique call ID's across several systems

hi guys. Is there anyway of generating a universal / global unique id 
from the dialplan (A uuid or guid). I want to have several asterisk 
servers sharing a cdr database, and want a unique reference for each 
call. Obviously, ${UNIQUEID} doesn't work across several * systems/

couldn't you set a variable in the local dialplan and combine ith with
uniqueid?
e.g.
LOCALID=asterisk1

and then
Set(GLOBALID=${LOCALID}-${UNIQUEID}) or so?

or even use the hostname of the machine?

For several releases now the BRIStufft version of Asterisk will
prepend the hostname of the server to the beginning of the base
uniqueid by default and use that new value as the uniqueid of the call
everywhere it is used. This shouldn't be that difficult to do in
regular Asterisk.
