Hey Brian,

FreeSWITCH in EC2 is a bit of a mystery to me...

Call me old fashioned but in my mind VoIP and geography are linked
in %99 of scenarios. Having VoIP services in a pure "cloud"
environment just doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

Consider a "hosted" environment with clients registered to a
FreeSWITCH server. One day your instance is physically running on
hardware in Seattle. The next day it could (potentially) be running
in Chicago. That's obviously a very different routing path for your
clients. Even /if/ Amazon (or whomever) employs every routing/network
trick in the book you still won't be able to get over that change in
geography.

It's certainly possible a change like this may very well never
happen in practice. I wouldn't know; I've never used EC2 and I don't
even know that much about it. I'm just curious how well strictly,
practically speaking this will work in the long term.
