This is exactly right, most of the concepts in FreeSWITCH follow this mind
set, It does trip people up from time to time.

A conference is very ephemeral in the concept of clustering an failover, We
are working on the HA documentation, But those are highly commercialized
use cases, The companies that tend to figure it out never share it back to
the community, I've been working with Giovanni to correct this.  :)  In
fact we do have a solution thats basically copy and paste.
