[SR-Users] Active-Active Registrar setup with users behind NAT persistence in event of server failure

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,


I didn't spent time on understanding the exact issue, but from database
point of view, do you want to avoid having two different tables for
specific reasons, like external applications accessing it?


Have you looked at setting the server_id, maybe that can help to have
the records grouped by each server.


Cheers,
Daniel
