A cluster can't migrate threads that use shared memory. Asterisk uses that kind of threads.So no, Asterisk wouldn't work on a cluster. (It might be helpful to know whether anyone has a working load-balanced Asterisk configuration where multiple systems can share the load of an Asterisk environment (IAX2, not SIP) and
whether this environment would fail over nicely in the event of downtime!
