### Description
When using the PATH header option to keep track of original Kamailio node that received the REGISTER, if nathelper is also used with SIP ping enabled, the SIP OPTIONS is sent to itself following the PATH header and not sent directly to the destination. The nathelper/user location modules should have a flag similar to the "path_check_local" of the registrar module, which is meant to avoid looping the message to itself in case the next hop pointed by the PATH header is "myself". <!-- Explain what you did, what you expected to happen, and what actually happened. -->
### Troubleshooting
#### Reproduction Configure the registrar module to support PATH and before saving the contact info add the PATH header with the local Kamailio information. Also make sure to have the nathelper and usrloc modules configured to send the keepalive SIP OPTIONS to the registered extensions. By the time the SIP OPTIONS is sent, Kamailio sends to itself, then the message has to be loose_route'd to the final destination. This could be avoided by having the nathelper module to identify the next hop is Kamailio itself skipping this destination as a call to "lookup()" does for the registrar module when the flag path_check_local is true. <!-- If the issue can be reproduced, describe how it can be done. -->

Thank you for the report. Just to clarify - the current routing works, but is of course not optimal because of the local loop? So basically you are suggesting to add a path_check_local functionality also to the nathelper module.
Yes. As long as the script actually expects OPTIONS to an external domain, calling a loose_route() will route it properly. I usually do not allow OPTIONS passing through my Kamailio to external users but had to add this exception for this case, reason why I think a flag can be added to avoid this local loop and the extra logic in the script.

This change is a very nice to have and shouldn't be closed.
If an item on tracker is wanted to stay open, the `Stale` label has to be removed.
On the other hand, this is a free collaboration project. If nobody has time or financial resources to support the development of the new features, then it does not seem worth enough. This particular request is more than 4 years old.
