asterisk users - Jun 2005 - [Fwd: Asterisk Balancing solution]

Dear All,

 I am using Linux-High Availability between two Asterisk servers,
everything is fine but I do have one problem with
this, When a server fails and the other  assumes the ip address and
start asterisk on server 2, the ip phone must
re-register themselves again, otherwise the phones are dead.

 Does anyone have Ideas of how to overcome this.

Thx

Dear All,

I would love to see someone get this to work! My thoughts in the past
are to do a periodic "sip show peers" and save the data to the standby
server in a text file or to a mysql database.
 
The question then becomes how to re-register the peer manually, which I
am sure there is an answer for , but I do not have it.
 
If you ever get it working you should post!
 
Other things to consider - voicemail files, MWI status, etc. have you
been able to address these issues?

Maybe... Wait for it... Realtime? Keep the information in a database that is
shared or replicated between all servers.

I can only think of 2 ways to proceed:

1) Set a shorter register interval
2) Set static ip on all phones, and forgo registration

2 should work.
We have dynamic addresses on our local net, but the dhcp
server gives an address for 30 days to the phones.
I did setup the host=dynamic and
defaultip=phone.ip.address.with.first.reg

This allows me to place calls to no longer registered phones
(specially the GS BT 100 looses registration lots of times)

Maybe this is of any help
