Web interface & redudancy for an IPBX under Debian Lenny

[Tourneur Henry-Nicolas]

Hella Diana,


First, thanks a lot for all those precious informations :)
For Hearbeat, I'm speaking about the Hearbeat project, the goal is to run the 
IPBX over two physical server and to have a (as much as possible) transparent 
failover in case of faillure. I guess I could achieve that goal with 
Heartbeat.

But now with what you said I have a problem about using FreeSentral and Yate, 
indeed I prefer to avoid using non packaged software (debian point of view) or 
non-released software (that point might not be a problem, reading your 
remark). Any recommendations about that problem ? Any way to do a clean Yate + 
FreeSentral install on Debian stable ?

Thanks,
