asterisk users - Feb 2012 - SER Still recommended for large installs?

I'm reading some information that recommends using SER / OpenSER for 
large installation to offload SIP traffic from the Asterisk server.

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+at+large

However, it looks like the information might be dated.

I'm looking at a potential 750 SIP phone and 150 Analog installation, 
all internal network, PRI trunks, and am trying to nail down an 
architecture.

Opinions? You think I skip the SER box if I'm using 1.8?

Thanks!

Hi Team,





Does any one know how to set IDLE FEATURES on the Avaya 4610sw IP Phone when it
registers directly on the Asterisk Server ?



I have done many things like setting it through the 46xxsettings.txt but it
doesn't work:



SET IDLEFEATURES "326"

SET FBONCASCREEN 0/1     ;;; ( did both 0 and 1 but doesn't matter what it
is, the idle screen doesn't show up the voicemail button )



It would be great if someone could help me out in this regard.



Thanking you in anticipation.





Regards,



Aamir Chougule

I prefer multiple servers sharing the load. All asterisk based. This
let me scale up the power of the system just adding more servers. I
use asterisk 1.8 realtime with all the data (peers, voicemails, ivr
messages and so on) stored in a pair of mysql database with
multimaster replication. Phones choose where to connect using SRV
records, so I can bring down servers without problems.
