Thanks for your note, Alex, but asking for a reasonable admin is hardly presumptuous; indeed saying that it is presumptuous is very questionable. I have had to do that myself having designed telco architecture and products in painful (SW) detail for over a decade now, and I have seen boxes far more complex and less complex all of which need OAM (invariably GUI based) which the customer won't touch without. We all have different ways by which we use products...

That said, you are saying "dammit, spend some time with this thing."

Point taken.

Your other comment re: turn-key LB is something I will investigate. Thanks for your time though.

I think you need to radically readjust your expectations. What you're asking for, once all of the requirements are tallied up ...

You'll want to start with the 'dispatcher' module, which provides the load distribution part, and go from there. There are plenty of examples of how to use it online, including the dispatcher module docs themselves:

http://www.kamailio.org/docs/modules/4.4.x/modules/dispatcher.html#dispatcher.ex.config

Also, this is a rather broad question that demands a lot from your audience, and certainly cannot be accommodated in a "quick start" guide:

The answer there is "know how to administer Asterisk", and there are no shortcuts around that.

Speaking of shortcuts: Kamailio is a fairly low-level tool designed for situations in which fine-grained message-level control is needed over SIP scenarios. When you say "it should be possible to get this setup by just running a script or GUI", you are speaking from a very presumptuous position.

Unless you're willing to put in the time and learn how to use all the pieces you've chosen to use, it sounds like you may be best served by a turn-key load balancer product or appliance of some sort, which would allow you point-and-click your way to happiness--at the expense of the integration paths you're after (RealTime et al).
