Hi All; I would like to have two Asterisk machines to have redundancy between them, so if first machine failed then we can depend on the second machine. Because of this, I would like to know (if someone can advise me): 1) If I did modification on the configuration, how this will be applied to the other machine? 2) I am going to use E1s, so what is the method to be able to let the calls go for other Asterisk machine if first one is down (due to maintenance or upgrade)? Is there a switch or something can help in this? Thanks for the help in advance. Regards Bilal

Database: but this require to use Asterisk version that support Database,
correct? Which Asterisk version does this?
?
About DNS, please note I am talking about E1 connected to the server, so I was
mean, in case first Asterisk down, then to send E1 calls to second Asterisk. I
am not talking about IP Trunk. Any help?
?
Regards

I use this one: http://www.oriontelecom.com/pro_switch/e1_switch/e1_failover_switch.html I disabled the automatic failover detection though, a script that is run when the standby becomes active switches the circuits from A to B or the otherway around. An other way is to use an external E1 to SIP gateway. Cons are that they are more expensive then Digium hardware and you still need more than 1 if you want to avoid this being a single point of failure.

You might want to look at a product called "astribank" made by Xorcom,
which does a pretty good job of giving redundancy on E1. In their redundant
asterisk setups, they use drbd to mirror configuration and data between asterisk
hosts.

Google for the DRBD and Heartbeat solution. you can justget DRBD take care of replicating the information and Heartbeat to monitoring the primary Asterisk.
