DynExtenDB is absolutely the wrong way to deal with dynamic extensions 
in Asterisk.  Yes, it may function, but it will not scale.

a reload doesn't drop any service...I asterisk -rx 'reload' production

Karl Putland and myself worked on a MySQL based switch, but stopped 
working on it because we had no real motivation behind our work and we 
never decided to really pester 'the man' about getting answers to our 
(mainly Karl's) questions.

If you have the proper motivation, I'm sure Karl or myself could free 
ourselves up to solve those problems that we gave up so easily on before.
