Hello,
We currently check for a similar solution with a maximum of 350 users, with trixbox 2.x with HA and DRDB and we would like to exchange with you about your feedback, bug that you could have encountered, tweaking, and your recommadation.
My email address is : eric.poudrier@cogeco.com
TrixBox-High Availability Tutorial.
This documents about 2/3 of the cluster implementation. The other 1/3 is probably with DRDB as you suggest;

Good luck!
I've just setup a HA configuration of Asterisk 1.4.4
Using 2xDL360 servers with heartbeat and it works surprisingly well. These boxes are sitting in a rack talking to a Sun Box that handles our inbound/outbound calls. Currently if one server fails, we failover and start asterisk on teh 2nd box and I think the outage is around 10 seconds..... not bad at all !!

Hi,
I have two asterisk servers clustered together using heartbeat and Redfone.But when we tried to register using the Virtual IP of this clustered servers with another remote asterisk through IAX trunk,it fails.IAX2 show registry output is "registration failed'.But its working fine if we change the virtual IP to any of the cluster servers IP.Any idea to resolve this issue?
Cheers

Reading the document with interest. Are the heartbeat packets TCP and fully routeable. Would like to have the two servers at seperate locations for GEO redundancy.
We already have multiple PSTN gateways and SIP trunking, outbound route diversity is covered.
Thanks.

I would love to hear about information regarding the Asterisk PBX portion of the HA setup? I don't know what configuration settings to put into the trunks, outbound and inbound routes with the Redfone Fonebridge2 device. Maybe the settings are easy but I'm a newbie at the IP telephony subject.
Any help that you can provide is greatly appreciated!
