A method and system for SIP access to media and conferences using a Media Server provides multiple connections to a resource while at the same time releasing the connection from the Media Server, therefore minimizing resources required on the Media Server and providing an increased number of connections. A method for providing media services may comprise receiving a request for media services from an initiating client device at a Media Server, determining, at the Media Server, a type of media resource needed to service the request and selecting a Resource Server based on the determined type of media resource, and establishing, by the Media Server, a media service connection between at least the initiating client device and the selected Resource Server to provide the requested media service, wherein the established media service connection does not include the Media Server.
