sounds great - i haven't really understood the flow in partysip yet and i 
beleive this will make it easier.

a colleague of mine who is really good at LDAP is thinking of making a LDAP 
user database plugin since that is where we have our user info (only a couple 
of thousand users ;) ). 

we talked about a persistent database for keeping registrations (also possibly 
for making it possible to have more than one SIP server (for redundancy and 
load balancing)) in, and he said writes in LDAP are really expensive 
(compared to reads at least) so the register-database would probably be SQL 
or something.
