Has this documentation always been available?

This is definately making a difference for me!

I am afraid this is all I needed to start asking some real stupid questions...

I'll start with this, first, a few assertions:

'forward' is built in to the routing engine? forward(host, port) As I understand it, forward simply sends the message to the hostname and port I specify, statelessly. forward(uri:host, uri:port) This sends the message to the host and port as specified by the current uri, statelessly.

't_relay' is a module, not part of the main routing engine. t_relay_to(host, port) Send the message to host and port 'statefully'. t_relay() Send the message to the host and port as specified by the current uri, statefully.

OK, now a question. These two sets of operations seem very similar on the surface. I think I understand 'statelessly', the message is simply fired off and all memory of the message is gone. I am trying to grasp 'stateful'. What exactly is different when using 't_relay()'? I am having a hard time coming to understand 'stateful' transactions.
