Hi,
I have read the docs, and now I want to attempt to setup Asterisk 1.6. I am
not going to complicate it with load balancing, etc. The setup is just 1 SIP
line - no other in-house connections. All inbound traffic. I intend to keep this
simple. Imagine that I sell pies in my neighborhood.. I want to make it easy to
order them. So I create a dialplan to receive a call, record the caller id/ANI
and time stamp, pickup the call, enter the IVR function ( play the "Press 1
for Apple, 2 for Cherry, 3 Blueberry"), get the button presses/input, and
hangup. Later, I can get fancy, with order confirmation, etc. What I want to
know is this: As inbound call volume increases, and my 1 server begins to
struggle, do I:
1. Add a second server that just does IVR? Is that a very advanced AGI thing?
2. Add a second server that offloads other CPU intensive functions?
3. Just keep it simple, add a 2nd server that is a clone of the first, and load
balance the calls - especially if you may bring UltraMonkey and *maybe* DRBD
(shared disk/iSCSI) into the picture in the future?
BTW, I am a Unix SA by trade, and so I am not a complete newbie. It seems like
the easy answer is #3, ESPECIALLY if you are already busy with IT functions,
plus baking the pies!
Thanks very much in advance.
