Michael,

Thanks for the welcome, and for the response to my question.

The call control and dynamic setup of conferences I have working (pretty cool stuff).
The tricky part, as you said, is "linking" the servers together.

Basically, what I need to do is establish a connection that will not be dependent
on a live person being on the call. And I would prefer to avoid having to
register actual phone extensions for every server -- and for every conference call.

I apologize if I'm slow, but I'm new to working an application like this.

In your example, you stated, "3900 is an extension set up in FS_B's dialplan",
does this extension have to be a live person (or soft-phone connected using an
auto-answer mechanism)? or can I setup something where there is not a phone
actually connected?

Right now I'm able to place a call from one machine to another, but I'm calling
an X-Lite phone on the second server.

Also, if it is possible to call a "virtual" extension, I have no problem
incorporating application logic that would clean-up the orphaned conferences on
all machines when a conference call is complete. I'm more concerned with being
able to setup the "links" quickly and in an elegant fashion.

Thank you Michael,

I will tinker around with it and definitely follow-up with the results.

Michael,

Thanks again for bearing with my novice perspective on this.

I was able to achieve the link between two FS servers as intended. However, I
was not able to setup a "new" dialplan file as you described. I had to place the
script into the default.xml dialplan to get it to work. Is there something I'm
supposed to do to get FS to look in the conf/dialplan/default ?

Also, in using the code as we discussed, I was also able to establish the link
between the two servers without having an actual soft-phone registered/connected
to the FS server (which is ideal for my situation). I can create the link
between the servers, and then dial out to external phone numbers from the
respective servers and connect the participants. Then, regardless of who
hangs-up, the conference between the servers remains in tact. So far it works
very well.
