[SR-Users] Calling users on another kamailio server

Hi,

Just managed to check code. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it won't
work with add_path() because the function uses substitution SUBST_SND_ALL
which of course refers to the source ip:port;transport=proto of the
outgoing message.

Regards,

Charles
