[Serusers] Revisted Error: force_rtp_proxy2: can't extract bodyfrom the message

Greger,

Do you have any idea how SER decides to include a "Route:" versus a "Record-Route:" header? If so,
which piece of code in ser would write the second ACK below?

Here is a "200 OK" and two ACKs - The first ACK is good and the second ACK is bad because it
should have a "Route:" header referring to the Sonus box.

100.99.99.99.99 is my SER proxy
100.10.10.10 is the public side of my firewall
216.50.50.50 is the ip of the Sonus box

So the ACK from SER to Sonus is incorrect.

Do you think this is worth posing to Jiri, Andrei, and company? All I know is that this ACK is bad
when STUN is not used and it is good when STUN is used. I did upgrade my Grandstream, but that
didn't help, and I've modified my nat_uac_test to use mode==19 rather than mode==3, but still get
the same results.

Regards,
Paul
