asterisk users - Nov 2006 - Multi-site Redundancy. Possible?

We have 3 sites located across the US.  Each has its own Asterisk PBX
with a stand-alone installation.  The sites are connected via VPN, fully
messed, with fractional DS3s to the same service provider.

 

We'd like to set it up so that if the PBX at site A fails, it fails over
to B or C, if the PBX at B fails it fails over to A or C, and so on.

 

I know Cisco CallManager supports this using CallManager groups.  Does
Asterisk support it as well?  Most of the things about redundancy I've
read seem to assume single-site.

John,

What you ask is perfectly possible and can be delivered as a turnkey soltuion.
However I can't pretend we achieved it without some considerable time
invested.

I will contact you offline with a little more detail.
