You will need also to save the local ip:port on which the packet is
received by the proxy. They will be needed when forwarding a packet with
and alias in r-uri, to make sure the same socket/ip:port will be used
for sending (or else it won't work with nats if you have several listen
addresses).

No, I don't have anything for counting rr uris.
