SIP in higher education

[Jeremy George <>]

  I have Cisco's CSPS v2.2 configured as the primary proxy and Iptel.org's
SER v0.8.14 configured as a backup proxy.  I'm using Cisco 79XX phones
configured for those servers and using CSPS as an outbound proxy.
Additionally I have a Cisco 37?5 gateway configured to use a hunt group
inbound from the PSTN, preferring CSPS and then trying SER.

  Testing the failover this morning by shutting off CSPS showed that
inbound calls went immediately to SER without missing a beat.  The
biggest problem might be that I could lose my primary proxy without
knowing it.

  However, outbound calls seem to require manual re-configuration on
the phones.  Is this right?  Does anyone know of a way to get 79XXs
to failover the outbound proxy automatically to a backup?
