[Freeswitch-users] FreeSwitch Failover Question

[Lloyd Aloysius]

Use the DNS SRV records for the Desk phones. Phones automatically register
to the back server. Look into the DNS Srv records. You can specify the
priority.

Use the DNS SRV for the phone registration. I use Polycom and Cisco.

Aastra phones... have bug in the firmware using DNS Srv records.
