Thanks for the reply.
In our case, the SBC treated the 483 as an error of some sort and wouldn't send
traffic. It wanted a 200/OK.
Anyway, I thought that when a proxy responds to an OPTIONS, its supposed to
answer with a 200/OK (3261 11.2). Is that correct?

What is the problem with the default config?
The proxy will respond with 483 as the standard defines. I guess the SBC
will doe this to check if the proxy is alive and will accept any
response as "the proxy is alive".
