I would say it's possible to do it with what we have now (based on your 
plan)
    1) on incoming call and in an AVP the RPID or if not present, the 
FROM URI (as party to be billed)
    2) run CPL
    3) in proxy_route, remove the existent RPID hdr and add it with the 
content from AVP.

all the time the RPID will contain the party to be billed and the GW 
should use this info.
