no, you can't do this until the location and subscriber tables
are uncached.  There is some mechanism built into SER that
allows for replication, that might work for you.
I think the uncached version is being released very soon
now.

It might work in a failover mode, but if one SER server
does a REGISTER for UA 1, and another SER instance does UA 2,
they overwrite each other in the database.  Each instance thinks
it has control of the entire location table.  That is my
understanding however I've been wrong before :-)
