Hi Zahid,
some people use a shared DB, e.g. mysql cluster. Some also implement some
database partioning on top of normal mysql in their server. DB replication is
also frequently used, to place your read/only data (auth, groups..) on local
host to minimize network overhead.
A central location for collecting
accounting records? ( I know people don't usually rely on proxy's
accounting records but i'd still like to collect that information)
Accounting data can be easily aggregated over many servers in one DB, as each
call is normally unique for the whole system.
Also, What is the best way to update the location
information on
server that was offline for sometime?
If one of your DBs was offline for some time, then you need to wait until the
registration is expired for read access, but continue to write to it. When
the registration expire time is over, then you can start to read again.
Cheers,
Henning
