[Freeswitch-users] High Availability Cluster Module for FreeSWITCH

[Brian Foster]

I applaud your efforts on getting a specialized mechanism in the form of a freeswitch module implemented to correctly perform high availability functions. I see a great potential here for the freeswitch project to attain a whole new level of performance and viability, and I really really hope others agree.

I've been struggling with this very issue; how to do correct HA with freeswitch to the point where we aren't dropping calls when something bad happens. It's held me back in a few ways, and while ill never look into a non-open source solution, I've got way to much on my plate right now to play with it now.

I'll see if my company can send some $$ your way. Ive got a few clients who would be interested in this as well. People, start donating!
