[Freeswitch-users] Playing remote prompts

[Adam Kelloway]

I was thinking of NFS, but was also concerned about its reliability. 
Were your performance issues related to file access times? Also, if the 
server was ever unavailable, it would be useful to play a default prompt 
that was guaranteed to be on the local disk. Is there any existing 
fail-over mechanism built into FreeSWITCH?

I hadn't heard of MooseFS, so I will look into that as well, thanks.
