[Serusers] Re: revert_uri in failure_route

Here is what is going on as best as I understand it. Bear with me as I'm 
trying to get my head wrapped around how SER works internally.

I've looked through the docs, but still I have these questions:

1. What does failure_route do with the failed branch? When the DID 
Alias->Subscriber call fails, should the failed branch automatically get 
removed from the transaction? If not, is there a way for me to remove it?

2. How does lookup() work? README.tm says it looks up and modifies the 
current ruri only, but when I perform a lookup("hunt") [again, hunt is a 
copy of aliases for the purpose of hunt sequences] it looks up both the 
alias and the result of lookup("aliseses") and appends/t_relays them both.

3. Just how does revert_uri work? If I do a lookup("aliases") followed by an 
append_branch/t_relay and that fails, does revert_uri remove the failed 
brach? or should it get removed based on the fact that it has entered the 
failure_route?

4. Is it possible that failure_route is getting called twice with the same 
callid for both the DID alias and the SIP target?

When the call times out and goes to failure_route[1], the failed branch is 
not getting removed from the transaction so when I lookup() and 
append_branch I am looking up and appending the next target in the hunt 
sequence for both the DID (alias) and the username (SER account). What I 
want to happen is that when the call fails, the failed branch gets removed 
from the transaction and I can then revert_uri, do a new lookup() [this time 
from the hunt table] and get the next destination in the hunt [be it 
voicemail, another SIP UA, or whatever].

If any of what I am describing is unclear, please ask and I will attempt to 
clarify. I could really use some advice on this one. From my perspective it 
looks as if there is a problem with how something in SER is functioning, but 
I know it can likely be fixed in my configs. 

Thank you.
