Well, sorry, but sync astdb is **really** necessary!?
IMHO it's perfecly possible to use asterisk in HA without this with
DUNDi and MySQL.
Maybe we has different approach of asterisk HA cluster.

Here, I do this:
All clients are "locked" in one server - one client per server - until
the server dies.
The "load balance" is really a "client balance".

Ex.: If I have 500 clients, 250 will go to server A and 250 to server
B, and this users will be "locked" into this servers.
With this, clients doesn't change of server on every call. Yes, this
is not a "load balance", but I can divide users into servers.

Regards.
