Both?

I'm using IAX trunk between the servers.

It tested fine.  After switching the [default] mode=files instead of
mode=quietmp3 (restart the pbx, don't just reload res_musiconhold.so),
I could call from pbx1 to pbx2, from pbx2 put the call on hold, pbx2
would play the MOH correctly.  Call pbx2 to pbx1, put the call on hold
from pbx1 and pbx1 played the MOH correctly.

Didn't see any issues past mode=files.
