[SR-Users] Possible problem with multiple threads handling same SIP message

Hi Dirk,

i guess, this could be a retransmission.
Do you catch retransmissions? An alternative might be, just to send a
"100 Trying" in the beginning of the script, in order to stop the
retransmission.

I guess for further insight into your issue, you would have to sahre
your routing-logic.

Thanks,
Carsten
