I was thinking along the same lines, but for a dynamic setup it should
be possible to have SER/OpenSER load balance REGISTER requests
according to some strategy/metrics, and then forward INVITEs and other
call-related traffic to the 'right' back-end server.

Probably lots of reasons why this is too complicated, though....
