I agree in principle - some cron job pulling the list by http would certainly be simple. But just to continue my thoughts to the brick wall, I don't see a lookup adding "latency" to the call other than what should be a very brief addition to the time taken for a call to be accepted. Once accepted you would just continue to accept the packets. How about something DNS based? Load could potentially be distributed that way if a number of people agreed to participate. I'll mull this over a bit more. j -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
