R: [Serusers] Parallel forking and reply error

[Zappasodi Daniele]

thanks for the response Jan.

Consequently if I allow more than one contact for each username, there is no
way to assure that my access control policy will be applied to all contacts?

However I was thinking to another scenario where I don't permit that two
clients are registered with the same username. 
When I need to use the forking I create a special user and I explicitly
define the set of contacts associated to it.
All the components of these sets will have the same domain administrated by
the proxy, so all the INVITEs generated in forking mode came back to the
proxy and the entire config script is executed for each contact.

sip:special_user at proxy_domain	----> sip:user1 at proxy_domain	--->
user1 at ip_address1
				----> sip:user2 at proxy_domain	--->
user2 at ip_address2

In this situation, when I need to avoid to contact only one of the two
users, I can't send an error message.

What do you think about this use of the recursive elaboration? 
I think that there is the risk to lost the control, and I'm still evaluating
all the situations that could become dangerous.

This is not possible because the config script will be executed for the
first branch only, thus you couldn't implement any per-branch policy.
