Fwd: RE: [Serusers] Multiple Registration Servers

[Iqbal]

that sounds fine, but what about all the other messages lets say a 
INVITE went to machine1, and the ACK went to machine2, then how would 
ser know what its doing. There is a discussion in the archives, subject 
LVS or something like that. Some are using a dispatcher module, from 
what I have read, but I dont think it is a complete solution...in fact I 
am unsure as to whether this is one....
