what i tried to say that if your two sip proxy host, which, for
performance reasons, should be physically close to each other, i.e., in
the same lan, see each other up and running, it does not mean that the
service is reachable from the outside.  you may have, for example,
some network equipment broken that affects reachability to one host and
not to the other.

what kind of algorithm it has to choose which host becomes the active
one if both hosts come up at about same time after powers loss?
