We would like to have that too. We've been thinking of 
log("hello world: method=%m, src_ip=%s"). Unfortunately,
it will not show up in the upcoming release, since we are 
simply too busy with making too many other changes. I would
wish to have it in the overnext release.

That is quite tricky -- it is close to protocol breaking. The From header
field has been designed read-only in SIP. Nevertheless, this application
has been already asked for. I wrote a short text on how to do that for 
those who wish to do so.

ENUM is on CVS, if you have courage to play with CVS code and problems
occur we will be glad to help :-)
