At this point in time my only solution would be to write the data you need 
shared to a common DB on System A, and accessing that data on System B 
immediately, repopulating the dialplan variables.

It's certainly not something I'd consider wonderful, but it will work 
flawlessly.

This all comes back to realtime systems and the ability to share the 
AsteriskDB between systems.  If we could convince Digium to allow that, we 
could solve a lot of nasty little clustering problems.  I mean hell, we could 
even start looking at failover situations and hot-swapping asterisk systems 
without losing voice frames.  :-)
