INVITE and subscriber table???
You can for example call for every valid REGISTER request t_replicate. If the 
destination box is up and running it will then update its databases (in 
memory and the DB backend, so beware of additional DB replication). But if 
the secondary is down (e.g. for maintenance) it will miss the update.

Two choices:
- either use DB replication and restart SER on failover to re-readin the 
location table on startup
- t_replicate all successfull REGISTER and omit DB replication, but beware of 
the possible drawbacks.
