Tijmen,
We use SER for this to load balance across multiple Asterisks. We then
use a custom program to monitor the health of the Asterisks and update
SER's configuration should one go down. 2 SERs share a single IP address
for users to contact using heartbeat.
It works well, and we have several customers with it in production. The
load balacing isn't perfect, and it can give uneven loads at low
capacity, but it gets better as load increases which is where it matters.

I did it with heartbeat en realtime. But the load balancing issue is
realy a problem. You want a load balancer to make decisions based on
call ID. The call ID is stored in the SIP header (layer 7) and for all
I know there are only a few load balancers that can make decisions based
on this layer and those load balancers are not SIP aware. So for now I
don't think load balancing with *servers could be easily achieved.

No. You have said that you want the _other_ servers to be aware of that
phone's registration and be able to deliver calls to it directly. That
will not work.
If you want the other servers to send calls to that phone through the
server it registered with, then yes, that can easily be done.
