DNS SRV will not work since there is only 1 IP in this hot failover network. A sip proxy introduces a single point of failure in the redundant network, why not keep asterisk the single point of failure? IMHO this kind of hot failover setup don't work with UDP traffic, it's stateless. There where a duplicate TCP packet will be ignored, UDP will be processed twice. While I didn't have this problem with SIP/RTP in a hot failover network as described, we changed a hot setup to cold standby because of troubles with UDP traffic (can't remember the specifics). -- Daniel Tryba -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
