It definitely sounds worth testing... set it up and stop the media services.

The sipx roadmap calls for creating redundancy of other components (voicemail, auto-attendant, MWI, RLS/BLF, ACD, sipxconfig) but those improvements are a ways off. Regardless, even the commserver redundancy is of little use if the primary target for inbound calls to sipx is an auto-attendant, which is a common configuration (as opposed to having DID to individual sipx users). If the primary server is down then so is the auto-attendant, which means inbound calls never get delivered even though the distributed server is up. Has anyone found a good way to deal with this limitation? One thought I've had is to configure sipx so that inbound calls go to a dummy extension which does serial call forwarding, first to the auto-attendant, and then directly to an operator's line or hunt group. For example: - gw sends inbound calls to x900 (which is NOT the alias of an AA) - x900 is configured with a serial User Call Forwarding list: 1) x100 (AA) 2) local operator's extension, or hunt group of appropriate users Will that work? Does anyone have better/different ideas? If we come up with a good way to deal with this issue then in it might be worthwhile to find a way to express it in the sipxconfig GUI, so it's clear to sipx admins without them having to ask the questions I'm asking.
