Does this new design takes in consideration the modules that are on
top of the existing dialog module?
For instance the qos module is keeping track of the media endpoints
for the dialog.
As I pointed out in a previous e-mail, in a spiral case when P2 is
proxying the media, the SDP for the first INVITE that is hitting P1
will be different then the SDP for the second INVITE that is hitting
P1 and in this case the single dialog approach will not work.

UA1 --> P1 --> P2 --> P1 --> UA2

In any case, I would prefer to keep the existing dialog module as is
and any new work to be done in a new module.
