[Serusers] replication and rtpproxy

[Klaus Darilion]

But this will work only if the client uses your DNS servers, because the 
DNS entries are cached by the other nameservers - or do you have a very 
short TTL configured?

I think also softclients will have problems as Windows XP by default 
caches the DNS lookups.
