My idea is to expose a set of API functions, allowing other modules
to register/unregister addresses to monitor.
So yes, destinations adresses would be duplicated in keepalive module memory.
Then keepalive module would notify the "source" module when destination
status change (available -> unavailable, and vice-versa)

I have started working on a POC.
It is available at https://github.com/gbour/kamailio/tree/module-keepalive
