Unless you can guarantee that the system that is currently processing a call 
will be the system that handles a transfer request from a phone, are the same, 
then transfers will not work.
 
Round robin DNS won't work at all. Every time you send out a SIP message, your 
going to be sending it to a different Asterisk box. For example, your initial 
INVITE will go to asterisk server 1. Asterisk server 1 will then send back a 
message requesting authorisation. Your phone does another lookup, and gets 
Asterisk server 2 this time. The phone sends the new INVITE with the auth info 
to Asterisk server 2. Asterisk server 2 will probably be ok with this, but when 
it sends a TRYING back to the phone, depending on the phone you are using, 
everything will fall in a heap on the floor. I know polycoms do. They get this 
TRYING from an asterisk server they didn't send and they go 'huh?'. 
 
I'm sure most other stuff will fail too. The Asterisk boxes share no state 
information.

        Hi,
          I am designing a asterisk load balancing model as follow.  There are
        3 asterisks connected to a single DB and a single server storing all
        the configuration file and voicemail.  Round Robin DNS will distribute
        the request to asterisks.
        
        DNS round robin ---+ asterisk1--------------------------+ DB and file 
server
                                     +---asterisk2-----------------------+
                                     +---asterisk3-----------------------+
        Does anyone has load balancing experience implemented in asterisk that
        can share?  Does my design work?  Does any conflict will happen in my
        design?  Any comment?
        Thanks!
