siptrace and sipcluster look similar indeed. I'm no expert in this (just
started playing with Homer myself) but inmy mind:
siptrace is used on a client to duplicate SIP messages to a server
running sipcapture (using raw/HEP message)

But since siptrace also has the ability to store in a database and you
can tell siptrace the duplicate all messages with 
modparam("siptrace", "trace_mode", 1)
That way you should see all messages in a dialog.
