[OpenSIPS-Users] usrloc expiring location record from different registrar after startup

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Henk,

In non db-only modes, the primary storage is the mem cache - the DB is 
used only as a secondary storage support (for persistence across 
reboots) and it is only written (cache flushed into DB) and never read 
(only at startup) - this is why you cannot share a location table via 2 
servers.

Let me know if you experience the same problem while using the db-only mode.

Regards,
Bogdan
