Hello,

There is nothing wrong at all with running FastAGI on the same server
as Asterisk. In fact a couple years ago, moving our call logging
script from an AGI to a FastAGI in VICIDIAL reduced the load on the
machine by over 50%. This might be an extremem example, but it
illustrates the gains that can be made using FastAGI even on the same
server.

Hello,

Here
(http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+FastAGI),
you can see :
"You will even see some improvement when converting your existing AGIs into
FastAGIs and running them on the same server as your phone system, though
this is not always feasible or recommended."

Why "this is not always feasible or recommended" ?
Shall I understand "it's worth to try but if the burden is too heavy for a
single machine, be prepared to use two machines" ?

Regards

The entire idea of using FastAGI is to relieve the Asterisk server of handling all the processing done by the AGI processes spawned by AGI/DeadAGI on the current server. With FastAGI, the business logic processing is supposed to be done on another server, thereby reducing load on the current one.

I agree about the business logic and take it a step further to redundancy.

You can have two separate machines hosting your AGIs. It used to take
a patch and priority jumping enabled (N+101) to take advantage of this
ability, I am not sure if it was ever fixed.

I take the philosophy of letting your Asterisk box simply
handle/switch calls, while other machines provide services and
redundancy to that phone switch.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

Yes, this is what I was referring to when I wrote it.
