You don't need to do anything when adding new peers to the database, 
when the peer first tries to register the config will be taken from the 
DB and put into the realtime cache. You can see the exact config of any 
peer in the cache by doing the following in the console

sip show peer <peer name>

Seeing that might help, I know it did for me.
