Apparently it is not possible yet in Asterisk. Answer from the Asterisk 
list:

So, the only way around it that I can see is to somehow have OpenSER 
change the username to username_domain so that each will be unique.

It looks like uac_from_replace should handle this. I have tried it, and 
I can see that Asterisk does in fact get user_domain at domain in the first 
invite, but thereafter for some reason OpenSER changes it to just 
_ at domain for subsequent requests.
