asterisk users - Aug 2007 - Failover Configuration

Asterisk Users,

  The more I work with the Asterisk 1.2.13 on the Debian Etch, the more 
realize there is no real reliable SIP provider.  Having two Sip Providers is 
smartest thing to do, one being your main provider, while the other being 
the failover/safety.

  Ideally, I would like it to failover automatically when there is 
congestion/busy or sip channel dead lock.  If I have to press "9" or
some
random digit just to make a call out on the 2nd Sip provider, it would be 
fine also.

  What would be the best way of to doing this?

  Trying dialing 9 first to use the netlogic trunk did not work, so I 
commented it out and tried doing the following way.  This does not work.  
Any Suggestions?

[bv-outbound]
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Macro(dialout|SIP/${EXTEN}@bvoice-out,30)
;exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX.,1,Macro(dialout|SIP/${EXTEN}@bvoice-out,30)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,2,Congestion
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,3,Macro(dialout|SIP/${EXTEN}@netlogic,30)


Best Regards,
John

Try losing the congestion line first.

Try enabling priority jumping and change this line
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,3,Macro(dialout|SIP/${EXTEN}@netlogic,30)
to
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,102,Macro(dialout|SIP/${EXTEN}@netlogic,30)
