Yet another quirk;  many legacy core functions do not support PV 
arguments, because they hark back to the days before PVs existed.  :-)

Just use the request URI to guide the request:

    $rd = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx";
    $rp = 5060;

    forward();

Like t_relay(), by default, forward() will consume the RURI for 
routing on the network and transport level as well.
