This can be done, and I am a proponent of Asterisk. But I don't think I would recommend it in this situation. Frankly, having a big company like Nortel to blame if/when downtime occurs would be worth the money difference to me!

Now, some SIP phones can register to multiple hosts, etc, but I'd still push towards a COTS system in this case.
