Not supported - Understood. 
No value - Disagree.

There's no way to replicate registration info between Asterisk boxes. A static, pre-loaded astdb file with all phones, that Asterisk sees when it starts would be great. A dynamic one that can be modified (by some outside process) while asterisk is running would be even better.
