Sure makes sense. On a separate note, if you register 10,000 endpoints with SER, and assuming that you dont need Asteirsk for this is a pure ip network, how do you configure routes for each of these 10,000 endpoints in the SER. Do you have to write routing scripts the usual way or do you employ a shortcut ?

-------------- u can, but try scaling, asterisk even though it can manage the endpoinst via Mysql (or other DB), it cant register 10000 endpoints, so what I have is a front end SER, load balancing is a pain, since dispatcher and all I dont think work completely, (wish LVS could get this done) and then have racks of asterisk boxes, now the calls can be diverted to diff asterisk boxes based upon my settings in group tables, that way I can pull a server out without downtimes.

Also for ip to ip calls (unless premium customers) I just route in SER.
