asterisk users - Mar 2009 - Asterisk 1.6.1-rc1 with OpenAIS and different subnets

Hi List,

im running a test server with the 1.6.1-rc1-release of * and OpenAIS. Asterisk
is configured so far and running stable. Now i set up a second server to test
the distributed devstate. In a cluster on the same subnet it's no problem.
But
we have a customer who wants that feature for checking telephones on two branch
offices connected over vpn-tunnels. According to that we have different subnets
(e.g. 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24, 192.168.3.0/24).

Has anybody set up such an installation and/or is OpenAIS able to transfer the
devstates over different subnets? Haven't found docs and hints for this use
case.

Maybe there are other possbibilities which i'm not aware of.

Any hint and solution would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Greetings
Peter Mueller

The method OpenAIS uses to communicate between nodes is designed for a
very low latency local connection; it is not designed to work across
routed connections. Russell Bryant has spent some time talking to the
OpenAIS developers about this, but so far there doesn't seem to be a
good solution.
