Meh; there are better solutions already that don't involve tying the PBX to 
the DB but they're not pushed because it's not as "cool."

I think Michael Giagno's post described a pretty much perfect system.  No 
direct interaction with the DB and PBX, therefore no issues with DoS through 
a bazillion reloads at once and other possible nasties.
