[Asterisk-Users] Realtime / SIP Peers etc

Digium told me they where aware of it, and it would probably take a single person the better part of a year to fix.

This is true and false.  We had two servers pulling from the same db for a 
long time, until we switched to two separate DB's on their own servers 
since it was a single point of failure (and when it failed, whoa...). 
>From talking with the developers, the only thing this causes problems with 
is phones behind NATs.  I don't remember us ever having problems using the 
same DB for sip registrations ever, even for NAT'ed phones.  I think it's 
one of those "try and see" type things, cause we tried and it worked for 
us.
