asterisk users - Dec 2009 - Best way ro run 2 or more asterisk servers?

Hello List.

I have a question regarding connecting two asterisk servers. I'm trying to
learn how asterisk comunicates from server to server. I already have a server
running smoothly now, I'm installing another one to test it along side the
actual one.

I would like to run different scenarios:

1. Have one of the boxes at a different location outside the LAN and have them
communicate.

2. Have both boxes on the same physical location with different extensions, for
ei. have box 1 serve exts 100 - 200 and box 2 serve exts 300 - 600 and iax2. Box
1 would be connected to a pstn line and box 2 connected to a voip provider.

Now, do I need to configure dundi or just have the register option on both
boxes?

Thanks in advanced for your help.

I'm trying to get two server communicate with each other and call from one
to the other but, I'm having a lot of problems.

I tried to create a iax trunk between the two:
At the server:
[client]
type=friend
username=asterisk2
authuser=asterisk2
fromuser=asterisk2
secret=sssssss
auth=md5
context=from_client
;peercontext=from_asterisk
host=172.16.0.11
trunk=yes
qualify=yes

iax2 show peers
Name/Username    Host                 Mask             Port          Status
client/asterisk  172.16.0.11     (S)  255.255.255.255  4569 (T)  (E) OK (3 ms)
1 iax2 peers [1 online, 0 offline, 0 unmonitored]

extensions.conf
[to_client]
exten => _3XX,1,Verbose("..... To Asterisk2 Server .....")
exten => _3XX,n,Dial(IAX2/${EXTEN}@client)
exten => _3XX,n,Hangup()

[from_client]
include => local-dial




At the client:
[server]
type=friend
host=172.16.0.3
username=asterisk
authuser=asterisk
fromuser=asterisk
secret=xxxxxxx
context=from_server
trunk=yes
auth=md5
qualify=yes

iax2 show peers
Name/Username    Host                 Mask             Port          Status
server/asterisk  172.16.0.3      (S)  255.255.255.255  4569 (T)  (E) OK (3 ms)
1 iax2 peers [1 online, 0 offline, 0 unmonitored]

extensions.conf

[from_server]
include => local-dial

[to_server]
exten => _5XXX,1,Verbose("..... Trying to contact ${EXTEN:1} @ asterisk
.....")
exten => _5XXX,n,Dial(IAX2/${EXTEN}@server)
exten => _5XXX,n,Hangup

According to some reading, I do NOT need to register neither one.

When I try to call from one end to the other I get:

[Dec 15 03:06:04] NOTICE[4265]: chan_iax2.c:10338 socket_process: Host
172.16.0.3 failed to authenticate as 300


Please help.

Thanks.

I did this in the iax.conf file

[client]
type=friend
username=asterisk2
authuser=asterisk2
fromuser=asterisk2
secret=sssssss
auth=md5
context=from_client
host=172.16.0.11
trunk=yes
qualify=yes

for both the client and server do I need it also in the sip.conf?
