Given a simple workflow where only one HTTP query is involved, I would
recommend the async module. It's very straightforward to make the query
out of the main request route, and pack the response into a 3xx redirect
and send it out the door in the async reply route.
I've had to mix both modules in situations where there's a pipeline of
HTTP requests -- what a pain.
I'm not sure of your request volumes, but I would set these to a
relatively high number, e.g. 3x-4x the number of SIP children= processes
you have.

If Kamailio is sending the 3xx response, then it sounds like using the HTTP modules to
interact with VoltDB's JSON interface might be the best way to go.
You'll have to account for the latency inherent in such queries and make sure you
have a sufficient number of worker processes to handle the load, whether you use the async
or synchronous HTTP modules. For more information on that topic, you can read an old blog
post of mine:
