asterisk. If asterisk fails, it will automatically fail the PRI over
to your backup machine. Can you manually force the failover? I think
so, but I'm not positive. You can ask the failsafevoip people
directly. I've exchanged emails with them before and they are
knowledgeable and responsive.

If you're using heartbeat, and it's directly monitoring the asterisk
process, you should be able to issue a "stop gracefully" command.
That will bring asterisk down when all the calls are complete. Then,
heartbeat should fail over to the other machine. Of course, if
someone is on a long call and you've already issued a "stop
gracefully" command, your "asterisk cluster" won't accept any
new
calls until that long call is finished.
