[Serusers] still no help - usrloc synchronization

[Greger V. Teigre]

That's excellent news, Andreas! I'm not able to see immediately how the two 
can work nicely together, but I'm sure it should be possible to get SER's 
FIFO net-centric now ;-)

    For some reason, however, I think an alternative to SIP-based 
replication is somewhere down the line.  Paul relies on mysql two-way 
replication and I follow his reasoning that replication should be done at 
the DB layer (which we do as well, but using LDAP. The usrloc replication is 
still SIP-based...).  However, the solution where forward_tcp() and 
save_memory() are used, you get both SIP replication traffic, as well as DB 
replication.
    If one has full TCP/UDP-based FIFO access, shouldn't it be easy to write 
a small module that will send a ul_add command to another server?  I wonder 
why Paul and you haven't done that yet, but still rely on SIP-based updates?
