Sync Custom Devstates across servers with PJSIP

I currently am trying to sync custom Devstates between two Asterisk servers, however it is not working.

I followed the guide here: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Exchanging+Device+and+Mailbox+State+Using+PJSI

Config is as follows:

Server1:

[instance2]
type=endpoint

[instance2-devicestate]
type=outbound-publish
server_uri=sip:instance1@11.11.11.99
event=asterisk-devicestate

[instance2-mwi]
type=outbound-publish
server_uri=sip:instance1@11.11.11.99
event=asterisk-mwi

[instance2]
type=inbound-publication
event_asterisk-devicestate=instance2
event_asterisk-mwi=instance2

[instance2]
type=asterisk-publication
devicestate_publish=instance2-devicestate
mailboxstate_publish=instance2-mwi
device_state=yes
mailbox_state=yes

Server2:

[instance1]
type=endpoint

[instance1-devicestate]
type=outbound-publish
server_uri=sip:instance2@11.11.11.98
event=asterisk-devicestate

[instance1-mwi]
type=outbound-publish
server_uri=sip:instance2@11.11.11.98
event=asterisk-mwi

[instance1]
type=inbound-publication
event_asterisk-devicestate=instance1
event_asterisk-mwi=instance1

[instance1]
type=asterisk-publication
devicestate_publish=instance1-devicestate
mailboxstate_publish=instance1-mwi
device_state=yes
mailbox_state=yes

On instance2, I execute the command “devstate change Custom:99 BUSY” and I see the following SIP Messages arriving on Instance1:

<--- Received SIP request (593 bytes) from UDP:11.11.11.99:5060 --->

However, the status is not updated:
Instance1*CLI> devstate list


— Custom Device States --------------------------------------------


— Name: ‘Custom:99’ State: ‘INUSE’


On another note, when executing the same command on Instance1 it doesn’t even send the SIP PUBLISH messages to instance2.
