This is just my two cents but could we not use snmp as a basis for something like this since it would allow monitoring eternally using ones own systems, or allow each FreeSWITCH server to monitor the other servers over snmp.  At least I think it could be an option to explore anyways.


SNMP is not intended as an HA solution. It is slow, and unwieldy to use. Fail over time using SNMP would be measured in minutes. We are going for sub-second fail over. SNMP is really only intended for external monitoring. SNMP also does not provide a solution for the vast majority of issues which an HA solution must cover.
