I'm not sure I'm talking about the same thing, but if this is true, it may clear a few things up.
Firstly, from what I've been told my Kevin Fleming on this list, and by calling Digium directly, support for multiple Asterisk systems accessing the same MySQL database for sip user/peer information, does not exist. Digium told me they where aware of it, and it would probably take a single person the better part of a year to fix.

Given that, I wanted to use realtime to load and cache the peer information, and that's it. If Asterisk has to refer to the database each time a peer registers, it just plain doesn't work!
