Re: Where are the SERVERS ? - Summary Just a note that just because a service only returns one result when doing an NSLOOKUP doesnt mean they dont have site redundancy.
A perfect example of this is OnSIP. OnSIP only returns one result to a DNS query... however they actually have facilities on both the East and West Coast. They return the result that they want you to connect on. If that site were to go down, they would change the DNS response on the fly.
I use three providers regularly.
Sipgate
To my knowledge, they only run a single site out of San Fran.
Supports DNS SRV
Flowroute
Has redundant sites in Nevada and Los Angeles

Onsip
Has redundant sites in New York and Los Angeles

*Allows domain migration
*Onsip has a very cool feature that allows you to use your own domain as your SIP address. You simple set a DNS SRV record via your domain manager to point _sip._udp. requests at port 5060 to sip.onsip.com and you can create your own users such as Bob@example.com |
