A telecommunications system includes a network ( 101 ); a plurality of endpoints ( 102 a, 102 b) operably coupled to the network; a gatekeeper and a database engine, typically located in a gatekeeper server ( 108 ), for downloading database information such as a corporate directory, to the endpoints. The gatekeeper server and the endpoints further include load monitors ( 2002 ) for monitoring device performance. If the load is higher than a threshold, the gatekeeper will not provide a requested database information. The endpoint then requests the information from another endpoint.
