That's not even close to an acceptable solution. Try this for perspective...
A new service provider is getting ready to provide iax termination service
to asterisk users throughout the world. Lots of systems and agreements in
place. There is "no" usable cvs code to start the offering. Your approach 
dictates he install a redundant system at all locations to handle this 
problem. I don't need a calculator to figure out that does not scale worth 
a damn. (And, no putting one central system somewhere is not possible.)

Problem has now been escalated.
