[Serusers] 3xx Response Processig Issue

[Mike Morrison]

I guess it all depends on where you want the redirection to take place. If
you want to perform some type of call limitation to a specific network, then
you need the redirection to take place at the proxy and besides it's another
level of unnecessary signaling. Another thing is that it's easier to control
how the processing of multiple routes in handled. Some proxies will fork out
the request when no "Q" values are present and some will process them until
you either have success or run out of routes. By routing the 300 back to the
originating GW, each attempt to resolve the route would be considered as a
call.

i once wrote a function that did that, but then i started to think that
it's not a good idea for the proxy to turn a 3xx response into a new
invite.  if the user has decided to redirect the call, it is best that
the redirection reply goes all the way to the calling party, which can
then decide if he/she wants to proceed with the new destination.  the
proxy is not in the position to do that decision.
