Failover stability?

[John Abbott]

I am the same using failover/load balance with 7500 desktops and 400
phones today but expecting the phones to grow in line with dekstop
numbers, there are the occaisional issues but its saves us many times
more than it troubles us.

I've been running failover for over 5 years (since 3.0.1rc6) on a site
with 3500 PCs and 4500 IP phones, so I think it's perfectly
satisfactory for production use.
