I like to think of it this way:  Record-Route is the header that tells 
the UAs and Proxies "hey if you are going to send future requests make 
sure you send them here"....while the Route Header is populated by the 
UAs and Proxies in the actual future request to guide the SIP message 
through the proper path.
