Sure. the branch tag is a transaction identifier and must be unique in
space and time. Thus, BYE must have another tag. That's why I said you
have to put some data into RR cookies - this is the only data which
stays the same during the dialog (except tags and call-id).
If you only want to know if an in-dialog request is from orig->term or
from term->orig, then the is_direction function is already sufficient.
If you want to detect a certain spiral leg in dialog module, IMO you
have to add another matching parameter (besides tags and call-id) to
dialog module which will be set as RR-cookie and retrieved from Route
header for in-dialog requests. Every time the initial requests spirals
through the proxy, you have to add such a cookie which of course must be
different to the previous inserted cookie (therefore ftag is not
sufficient anymore) - either generate a random identifier or reuse some
data from the message (e.g. you could copy branch-tag to RR header as it
should be unique)
