If you think there is a need for this in a production environment, I'd like to see corresponding manager actions, as well, since we don't want to encourage the usage of CLI commands from programs when possible.

Out-of-dialog requests will be load-balanced by Kamailio, in-dialog requests (e.g. subscription refresh) will be loose-routed to the proper Asterisk server. Now, if you want to maintain one of the Asterisk servers (e.g. upgrade Asterisk) you will remove this Asterisk server from the cluster, usually by changing the load-balancer algorithm to exclude this single server. New calls will be automatically routed to the other servers, but the subscriptions are still active one the excluded Asterisk server. Therefore it is necessary to force all UACs to create a new subscription and this new subscription will be routed to one of the other servers.

Thanks for the clear explanation, Klaus!

If you use distributed device states its possible to get notifys from different asterisk servers, cause the subscription was sent to another asterisk in the cluster, before the old subscription timed out.
