People have a tendency to call other people in the same area codes more often than people in other area codes. That ought to help load on the root servers. Anyway, a single server can easily handle 1000 queries per second. If you add even 0.1 cent to the call setup fee to pay for the lookup and you keep the servers at 100 qps average, you are looking at $8640 a day per server. Or look at it the other way around, if you allocate $1000 a month to run a server, and that server performs at 100 qps average, each call costs you .0004 cent extra. /Benny _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
