t_on_negative() looks like a pretty suitable feature

Agreed. Actually, it was created with such scenarios in mind.

it is where the problem lies -
after appending a new branch ser forwards the request to the host:port

Understood.
Attached patch adds a new variable sticky_relay_to,
which if set to non-zero
value instructs ser to record proxy address to which transaction was
originally forwarded with t_relay_to(). On failure ser forwards request to
that address if another branch was appended in reply_route[].
I think that it is generally useful feature and it would be nice to see
it integrated into the next release.
I'm too coffeinized right now to review the patch thoroughly -- but would not
it be just simpler to _always_ keep forwarding to original destination if
t_relay_to was used and to uri if t_relay was used? (i.e. sticky==always_true)
Whichever way we go, it deserves to be fixed.
