Basically, what you are referring to is dialog-based CDR generation.
Although it's not possible to do in the current Kamailio, a co-worker of
mine and me have been working hard lately to implement this specific
feature. It requires changes to the dialog module (such as allowing
access to dialogs even after the BYE message is processed, just as you
mentioned) and extending the acc module by a CDR mode.

The plan is to get the new code into the project ASAP, certainly by the
time SR 3.2 is released. So watch out for a new repository branch and an
announcement on the mailing list to get your hands dirty with the new
stuff soon.


Cheers,
