[Serusers] Asterisk "clustering" with a SER proxy?

[Greger V. Teigre]

Dear William,
I'm pleased to hear that you are able to charge high rates for your 
competence and that you are three times as efficient as other consultants. 
However, I do hope that your CC to the serusers list was a mistake as such 
lists are not considered the appropriate place for shameless self-promotion.
    However, I do encourage you to register as a consultant at:
http://www.onsip.org/modules/mylinks/viewcat.php?cid=4

Those of the 1,100+ registered users there who are looking for consultants 
can then reach you without the rest of us having to bother. ;-)
