[OpenSIPS-Devel] Location table structure - account_contact_idx

[Liviu Chircu]

Ok, it seems I was dead wrong with that.  On shutdown, "write-back" will 
do a final
dump to DB (just like dialog), thus avoiding the sad scenario I was 
envisioning.

That being said, to me it now definitely looks like "write-back" is best 
of both worlds:
all READ/WRITE operations are done in RAM, ensuring fast signaling, while
maintenance restarts will also be pleasant, with all registrations being 
carried over.

You MAY, however, end up with some missing registrations for 1h on a 
kernel panic or
if you pull the power cable.  However, I think these cases are more than 
acceptable :)
