[Freeswitch-users] ESL vs Mod_XML_Curl

[David Ponzone]

Well, it's dynamical, and it can be shared among multiple FS instances.

When you use FS only as a switch between trunks, it's not really  
interesting, but if you plan to have lots of users registered on FS,  
it may help.
Only you can decide if you need a static or dynamic dialplan.
And if you need to register lots of users, it's pretty sure you'll  
want to store them in a DB...
