[VoiceOps] Load balancing

[RJ Auburn]

I have seen F5's really mess up SIP signaling on a few deployments.  
They have some basic SIP features but if the NAT stuff gets complex  
they were not always rewriting all the headers. When pressed it seemed  
like their support had only done a few SIP deployments and it was  
pretty limited.
