Hello,<BR>
<BR>
I have setup multiple FreeSWITCH servers for a conferencing application that uses "virtual" extensions as links between servers. Basically, I create a connection between the servers using an extension that does not have a live person on the channel -- so that when calls are connected on a remote server, the call joins the same conference that is linked between the servers and can participate on the call.<BR>
<BR>
In my code, I identify the same extension when linking between the servers for ALL conference calls. For example:<BR>
<BR>
Server1: Conference Call ABC starts --> Conference Name = ABC<BR>
Server1: A link is created to Server2, by placing a call using extension 9999, so there is then a conference between Server1 and Server2 without any live person on the call yet.<BR>
Server1: Dials a live person that is placed in conference ABC.<BR>
Server2: Dials a live person that is placed in conference ABC (Members in the conference can now hear all participants in Conference ABC on both servers).<BR>
<BR>
Then,<BR>
<BR>
Server1: Conference Call XYZ starts --> Conference Name = XYZ<BR>
Server1: A link is created to Server2, using extension 9999 again.<BR>
Server1: Dials a live person that is placed in conference XYZ.<BR>
Server2: Dials a live person that placed in conference XYZ (Members in the conference can now hear all participants in Conference XYZ on both servers).<BR>
<BR>
So far this works great! However, my question is whether or not using the same extension is a bad idea? does it matter how many times I setup the link between the servers using the same extension for every conference? <BR>
