Hello,

I have the following setup:

Network A <==> Network B <==> Network C
|
|
\—————————————-/

All 3 locations are connected with a layer2 vpn to make it transparent with the same ip range 10.0.0.x/24.

Network A and C is close to each other and have another direct routed tunnel 192.168.1.x/24.

I would like to route the calls between A and C on this direct tunnel. What is the best way of accomplishing it?

The phones are older OpenStage models and only support 1 SIP server, that would have been my first idea just to setup a secondary Asterisk on location A or C and have the phones register on both sip servers.

My other idea would be to setup a secondary Asterisk on location A or C
and link the two with IAX. However B is strategically more important than A or C since it has the dialout setup to PSTN. Let’s say the second asterisk is setup at C and that loses connectivity with B (while A still have it’s tunnel up), that will result both A and C are separated from B
also in this case all of A’s phone traffic is routed through C.

Any ideas are welcome.
