Hi, I'm planning to deploy SIP hardphones in a serverless location. Phones would be connected to 2 different Asterisk servers, one backing up the other. I would like to offer resilience and I'm wondering about the best way to do it. Phones themselves can register to a backup SIP proxy if first proxy fails but, AFAIK, can't fall back to main server from backup server when main server recovers. I'm wondering if should use DNS, phone multi-registration feature, or a combination of DNS and phone multi-registration feature, to implement resilience. Your opinion ?

[asterisk-users] Resilience using DNS or phone feature ?
Oliver, We use DNS SRV records combined with short TTLs to provide failover. Thankfully, we have only used it when moving phones from one server to another in preparation for upgrades, but it worked like a champ then.
