Hi Igor,

in my experience using a local (read-only) replicate of the kamailio database 
for authentification and other read-only functionality brings the best 
performance, as its eliminates the network overhead. For read-write 
functionality one like to have a central database server, and I would 
recommend this as well for better performance.

I would recommend that you do some tests with a testing tool, and then decide 
if you want to go for a local replicate or a dedicated DB is fine. With regards 
to special hardware recommendations - I my experience any recent 1 HE 
"enterprise line" server (from Dell, HP, IBM etc..) should be fine.

Best regards,
