[Serusers] Asigning a Subscriber to a Specific rtpproxy

[Andres]

The idea here is not to load balance or distribute media streams using 
SRV records.  I do know mediaproxy supports that.  But the idea is that 
if we have 1000 users at ISP A, we might decide to collocate a server 
(with rtpproxy or mediaproxy) with them so we can guarantee latencies of 
under 10ms. 

We are not talking about guess work here.  This is about a carefully 
designed plan, hand-to-hand with the ISP(s) in question.  So what we 
need to figure out is how can our 1000 users at ISP #1 use MEDIAPROXY 
#1, 1000 users at ISP #2, use MEDIAPROXY #2, and so forth.

If it can't be done then certainly splitting up the users into different 
SER servers can do the trick, but we wanted to ask around first.

Thanks,
Andres.
