SER can forward calls to Asterisk. I did not understand the "asterisk servers control
authorization" part. You mean authorizing INVITEs? Does Asterisk support that? I think no. It will
accept your call and create another INVITE and send to the destination. If you meant registration,
you can either register clients with SER or Asterisk. If you register with Asterisk, then there is
no need for call forwarding using SER. (I know, your Asterisk knowledge is better than mine :-)

Yes. This is possible. You can have failure routing in your script and check for the status of
replies and then decide on what to do. Maybe like forwarding calls to another Asterisk or send to
a voicemail server etc.
