Alex, thank you for you hints.
Load distribution is more of priority to me. I think low TTL might be a
solution. But what can be done to keep Kamailio in sync on geographically
dispersed servers?

"Redundant" vs. "load distribution" are two very different goals and are
addressed in different ways. Which is the big priority for you?
Redundancy can be done in many ways, from simply having two servers
(perhaps with database replication if extensively DB-backed) that the
callers roll over on transaction timeout, to SRV records, to HA setups
with Heartbeat/Pacemaker/OCF/etc. Sometimes disk-level replication with
DRBD is also a part of that, depending on the requirements.
Geographical load distribution is generally done using some sort of
selective DNS query answers + low TTLs, or by using a stateless load
balancer (less resource utilisation than stateful) to distribute calls
across multiple stateful proxies in various places, or by statically
assigning customers to chicago.us.sip.myprovider.com.
