Sure, it also sounds ok for us to decrease to debug level and we will do 
this.

You are right, in case of multiple rtpengines in different networks, 
connections to both may fail with the "can't connect to a RTP proxy" 
error message. However, force_send_interface parameter is optional and 
if you don't set it, the kamailio will select an appropriate socket and 
the behaviour will be as expected.

Suppose one has a PC with 2 interfaces connected to the same network and 
wants to force traffic going through a certain interface, this parameter 
is helpful.

Maybe in the future we could improve the functionality of this 
parameter; we are open to suggestions.
