Thanks for all the help guys! The initial problem was how to deal with replication of contacts modified via the web. However this has made me re-think my setup. This is what I've come up with so far. I would really appreciate it if you could let me know of any pitfalls you might see.

It looks like my best option is to execute sipsak from php within my web interface to add/delete contacts, this way they can go through the normal call processing of ser.cfg and be replicated via t_replicate or forward_tcp. I will have the same web interface & mysql running on both boxes... it's just a band-aid until xmlrpc in SER is mature, then I'll move web & mysql to dedicated boxes. I haven't the time to modify LVS right now so I will most likely use VRRP in a stand-by HA setup with a single IP. I am really curious about LVS_NAT if anyone has any experiences to share. A review I read shows it performing well on up to 2000 requests per/sec.

I am planning to use save_memory on SER replications, and do 2-way MySQL replication of everything on the back-end. I have seen Paul's patch for preventing save_memory from writing to MySQL, and I assume I will want to use this to make sure back-end DB replication is handled by MySQL only.

Right now I am looking for stability. I realize this may not scale well until the LVS & xmlrpc pieces are in place, but maybe it will buy me some time.

Thanks again for your valuable input!

I'm looking for a way to replicate userloc changes to another SER box via FIFO. I am using FIFO via PHP to manipulate contacts, but I'm not sure how to replicate those changes to my other SER's memory. Any thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm kinda stumped on this one.
