When doing the multi-server install, using ViciBox Redux guide, and you install more than one Asterisk Telephony Server, are the IAX2 interconnection being done automatically just answering the Yes/No question of the installer?

I have:
2- Web Servers
1- Database Server
2- Telephony Servers
1- Archive Server

All the installation was done using the "official" installation document and NOT using SVN versions, just the versions that came into the ISO 3.1.15.

Thank you.

Yes, they should be. I would recommend, you take one big machine as DB-WEB-COMBO (Database and Webserver) and the others just as voip-servers. So when installing the DB-WEB-system, you just say yes to MySQL and Apache, but no to voip-server. On the other servers, which should only act as voip-server, you say no to the former questions, but you say yes to voip-server and yes to "Is this an additional server in a cluster setup". If everytyhing goes right, you could check extensions-vicidial.conf, that's where vicidal generates entries "dynamically" - this is also where your phone extensions are stored for dialplan usage.

Since the voip-servers have to know about the database they all use, and in the databse is theconfiguration information of the other servers, they are interconnected per IAX2. If running into problems, just do a "asterisk -rvvvvvv" to see what's actually happening. Here you might find config errors becuase of mispelled strings - what actually never happended to me.

Let us know, how far you got !

btw: it is called "Load Balanced Web Login", meaning when an agent logs in, the system tries to put that agent on that server where less channels are being used. But this requires a phone (web or hardware) that can register with multiple accounts.

Such as older versions of zoiper and 3CX.
