OK, that works, keeping the switchnames different doesn't dump the calls table when the other switch starts and issuing a "sofia recover" recovers the calls still on the other box. Can I ask when exactly the "switchname" should be used then? FS 3277: http://jira.freeswitch.org/browse/FS-3277 Suggests it was implemented for the exact reason of keeping the names of two switches in an HA configuration identical, but it seems they are best left separate. I don't mind cleaning up some of the detail in the HA Wiki but would just like to know when the names should be the same and when they should be different i.e. shoudl the names be the same for kind kind of active / active setup? I don't know if Avi Marcus is reading this, maybe you can comment as I know you have a good deal of experience in getting HA setups up and running.
