[OpenSIPS-Users] Opensips loses location table contents

I'm having a interesting scenario, every once in a while my OpenSIPS
location table begins losing its contents, I lose like 100 at a time,
then it might regain some and then loses again another 100 or so.

I have 2 servers one active and one standby via Heartbeat, heartbeat
shuts and turns on opensips when becoming the active node,  the MYSQL
databases are replicated as a MASTER/MASTER replication.

First time this happened was when I tested a updated OpenSIPS script,
so I turned on OpenSIPS on the standby node, I did not close OpenSIPS
right away and thats why I suspected that the standby node kept on
erasing lines once they expired and the active node kept on adding
rows, this was a full fledged  OpenSIPS war :-)

But this same thing happened last week again for no reason, I did not
touch the standby server at all, all of the sudden we got calls from
customers that their phones are acting weird, going online and offline
all the time, sure enough I saw that the location table was down to
maybe 20 registrations, I rebooted the master and it did not help, I
rebooted the slave too and it did not help so I did a
/etc/init.d/heartbeat stop and the slave fired up and everything went
back to normal, within a few minutes all registrations were all back
up.

I then ran a apt-get upgrade and one of the applications that were
updated was mysql server, so I said maybe that will fix the problem, I
rebooted the master and heartbeat fired up OpenSIPS and everything was
fine till today.

Today I by mistake ran  opensipsctl fifo lb_list on the slave
(standby) server and sure enough it gave me a error because opensips
was not running, but 30 minutes later I got a call from a customer
that his lines were down.

Could it be that be merely running "opensipsctl fifo lb_list"
something would of caused this issue? I did not run "ps aux | grep
opensips" because I right away rebooted the servers, is there anything
else that could cause such symptoms?

thanks
