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. http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Enterprise_deployment_DNS_SRV On Wed, Jul 11, 2012 at 11:34 AM, Sean Devoy <sdevoy@bizfocused.com> wrote: Hi All, I have a question concerning FS failover for high availability. My SIP provider offers the ability to route to a second server if the primary is down. That is simple enough, but what about the phones? The desktop devices are not registered with the back FS server. The only idea I have so far would be to change the DNS addresses to the backup upon failure, but that can take a long time to propagate to the phones. How do other people handle this issue?
