I was thinking about this myself the other day. I don't think this should be a problem. Even if a client registered with a different server, SER will still use the same contact information to get to the client. So it shouldn't matter at all.
You should be able to setup many SER servers and have them all look at the same database.

Hi
I currently have a single SER server using MySQL for data storage. Due to the number of users I now have and to help redundancy I want to setup another SER server.
I have search the web and have not been able to find a tutorial on this so I hope someone on this list can help.
I need the SER servers to at least know about the location of clients registered with each server. Therefore can I point both servers at the same MySQL and for them to share the data?
Are there any issues around this strategy? Is there another way to accomplish what I want?
Regards
Jon
