[SR-Users] Make SIP session between two kamailio servers

[Cockhootec Yahrabee]

i am sorry my approach was probably unclear.

Nevertheless I realized that my thought was too overcomplicated. I realized
that for my purposes it will be sufficient to route SIP messages between
two instances of Kamailio eg.

UA1 <----> K1 <--------> K2 <-----> UA2

So yes this is exactly what did you suggest.

Is this common scenario? Is there any documentation on how to configure
Kamailio this way?

Thanks in advance
