[Serusers] Does lookup("location") queries the database or the memory?

Hello!

I have found the db_mode option in the userloc module, which controls
updates in the location table. But how are the lookups handled in ser?

If a user location will be requested by lookup("location"), will this query
the backend database or only the RAM. Is this lookup behaviour also
configurable (how?)?

I'm thinking about a configuration with 2 ser proxies and one database
backend. If the lookup only queries the cached location table, I would have
to froward the registrations between the two proxies via t_replicate. But
wouldn't this cause both proxies to update the database resulting in two
entries in the location table for each registration?

regards,
Klaus
