[asterisk-users] Connecting multiple office with multiple servers
Greetings all, I currently manage a two-server asterisk system that connects two of our offices. Running 1.4 on CentOS 5.2 on both sides. We use Polycom 501 phone and register the phones to both systems, and use SIP peering to interconnect the two systems. We had been using IAX, but found that for some reason we were having trouble keeping that data stream in out QOS. Sometime in the near future, we are planning on integrating two of our other remote offices, each with their own asterisk server, into this network. I would like to have the phones register to two servers, but be able to be seen by all four. I have been experimenting with OpenSips/Kamailio as a registration server and forwarding all SIP requests to the appropriate office, but that may have a larger learning curve than I would like for the timeframe I am working with. I am looking at DUNDi and am thinking that this might be the way to merge these systems together and share the registrations between the servers. I am sure someone has experience with this type of setup, and I was hoping that I could confirm that DUNDi might be the way to go, or if not, maybe point me in the right direction. Thanks!

I believe I read that is how one shares them between Kamailio and Asterisk - John -- John A.
