"telco servers" are Supermicro 2.8GHz P4, 1GB, Digium te410p with 2 PRI
plugged in.
"application server" is HP DL380 3.06GHz Xeon x2 (4 cores), 3GB, Digium
te410p (timing only, all calls over IAX)
"database server" is HP DL380 3.06GHz Xeon x2 (4 cores), 3GB
No failures in over 2 years.

What kind of hardware are you using in your setup?
I'm using dell GX150 PIII 1G 512M, because I can get them in quantity and
the parts are easily interchangeable
Thanks,

I have one head system that terminates two PRIs. It routes the calls from

Quick answer, yes.
How is more interesting :)
First, unless your AGI's are massive or incredibly inefficient, 2 PRI's
won't swamp your IVR boxes.
I have 3 1u servers each with 2 PRI's forwarding all 138 calls to a single
"application server." All of the PRI's could be handled by 1 1u but
management wanted flexibility and redundancy.
The application server does IVR, conferencing, records messages, plays
canned stories, credit card processing, etc, etc, etc. All implemented
with a bunch of AGI's written in C. Each call executes a minimum of 9
AGI's and yes, some AGI consolidation is planned.
All database work is handled by a separate box.
Anyway, back to your question, how about your head system running an AGI
that connects to the manager interface on the IVR boxes to find out how
many calls each is currently processing? You could set a channel variable
with the least busy host name and use that in your dial statement.
If you passed the IVR host name list to the AGI, you could take a box out
of service by editing and reloading your dialplan.
Thanks in advance,
