Tarek, Thank you for your response. I am going with the load balancing idea. Claude -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

They want the traffic broadcast to 2 static IP addresses on the Asterisk server for redundancy. Their they want to be sure to receive traffic if one of their subnets/gateways goes down. As I understand it, having the two IP's set up to receive redundant information as possible in Linux, but I wonder how (or if it's even possible) to address this in Asterisk. As anybody ever done this? Claude -- _____________________________________________________________________
