[cisco-voip] Port 2 has detected an incoming call. This system is in inactive mode and is configured to fail over in this condition. Fail over to this system will occur, and the call will be answered.

[Matthew Saskin]

There are also a few defects out there (CSCsc62073 is a feature request I
believe) where even though all primary unity ports aren't busy if they don't
respond for any particular reason the call will hunt across all entries in a
line group and move on the next line group (secondary unity server).  If the
call failures are caused by a condition such as location out of bandwidth,
and not by the unity server not answering, this could lead to an unnecessary
failover if bandwidth becomes available and the call is allowed to route
once the system is routing it through the secondary line group.

"Fix" for this scenario is an adjustment to the "stop routing on out of
bandwidth flag" service parameter.  Default is false, setting it to true
will "fix" this scenario.

As odd as it seems, I've seen it affect quite a number of my customers.
