In general, you are talking of distributed conferencing, which in SIP
it was tried once to standardize but never reached anything. It is
just not commercially popular, i guess.
Now, this doesn't mean that it cannot  be done or that it has not been
done ... but it is "propietary" implementations. And in my particular
knowledge, i know asterisk was not the choice.

Just my 2 cents.

This is a general problem with the 'enterprise grade' aspects of Asterisk. As 
far as I know, there is no way to distribute applications (eg: Queue, Meetme 
etc) between multiple Asterisk systems. You really need to run the applications 
that will serve a common set of phones on the same Asterisk system, and then 
fail over to a secondary if necessary.
