asterisk users - Jun 2005 - T1 multiplexer (or ?) for failover in largeinstallation

Just use a cisco with 5 T1 ports and have everything over IP use ultra
monkey to load balance your asterisk boxes.  I have found this works
very well.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] T1 multiplexer (or ?) for failover in
largeinstallation

Hi,

Please forgive my terminology, still a bit new to T1s and such.

I'm looking for a way to have 5 T1s from a carrier terminate into some
type
of box (multiplexer?), then be able to plug 7 asterisk servers into that
box
(each with single port T1 card) and be able to have 2 * servers go down
at 
any given time and not actually have the carrier see that anything has
happened.
Obviously if a * server crashes the calls on it at the time will drop,
but 
then once the box (multiplexer?) sees that a T1 is down (between the box

and asterisk) it will terminate those DS0's on another T1. Basically
some 
type of hunting/pooling/load balancing.

Anyone heard of anything like this? Or am I off my rocker?

Thanks,
Mike
