[OpenSIPS-Users] Is there a way to share transactions between opensips?

[Brett Nemeroff]

You may want to consider something like UCARP with a cold standby. Of course
you can use the REAL IP of the backup for a warm standby.

if both instances of opensips are using the SAME IP, it'll cause problems..
There are better ways.
