asterisk users - Apr 2005 - Interface bonding + asterisk

Hi all

I installed asterisk on a dual PIII 700 with two NICs. I then proceeded to 
configure both NICs with bonding enable (bonding miimon=100 mode=1). I know 
certain features (like load balancing) under a bonded configuration is not 
understood by some switches, so I configured it using mode=1 (Failover 
only). The problem I'm having is that, sometimes, calls start fine but then 
one of the parties loses audio (it could be the caller of the callee who 
loses audio, there is no pattern). I was wondering if someone has hit the 
same wall as me. There are people using this server right now, so I haven't 
tried the no-bonding option as it means downtime. Any help would be 
appreciated.

I've never tried bonding, but if I was using multiple interfaces,
I'd use a simple trick routers use and configure a loopback address,
ensure the routing table propagates it and have * listen on only
that i/f. Try, ifconfig lo:1 <some IP address> netmask 255.255.255.255
