[Serusers] How does t_relay() determine the IP/port to send a message to?

[Java Rockx]

Hi All.

If I have the following INVITE message, the message is sent to 10.3.0.221:5060.

How does t_relay() determine this? Is it because that is the IP in the R-URI?

I have a very odd situation where the INVITE is sent to an IP that is
the same as the SER proxy, but the R-URI is a SIP phone on the public
internet.

This causes SER to send the message to iteself, which then causes
(uri==myself) to be FALSE and I just t_relay() it again in my default
handling.

Does anyone know why ser might attempt to send a message to an IP that
is __not__ the R-URI? In this example I do have "sip.mycompany.com"
defined as an alias so I'm not sure what could be causing this loop.
