If a client has a pre-loaded route (eg for an outbound proxy) and does 
not know if the outbound proxy is RFC3261 compliant, it has to use 
strict route.

Thus, ser should also hande strict_route messages correctly. Regarding 
is_preloaded: Is there in CVS a way to find out who put in this code and 
the corresponding commit-log?
