Stoyan thanks for your reply, i've been doing some research before 
replying (which has taken a while) and there's something I don't 
understand. I apologize in advance if I'm asking something that makes no 
sense.

my provider does in fact requires registration, and they provide a 
single sip that accepts hundreds of concurrent calls.

If I have a kamailio in front of several pbx servers, in order to have 
redundancy (if server fails) and be able to handle thousands of calls, 
but have to route all outgoint (pstn) calls to a single 
asterisk/freeswitch server that's actually registered with my provider, 
wouldn't I loose all my redundancy and concurrency capability??

Is there a better way??

thanks in advance
