2 openser servers with 3 ip adresses (1 virtual) + heartbeat to ensure the
failover + watchdog to ensure if opensips/kamalio/openser crashes a nice
failover & reboot, it is working stable here (dispatching to 10 servers +
owners DID dispatch to their respective servers)

join #opensips on freenode if you need more info.
