Hello George,

I can't comment on the $nh(d) question right now, I would just test it.

About the next hop choosing for responses - its described in the standard:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3261#section-16.7 (part 9):

"[..] The proxy MUST pass the response to the server transaction
associated with the response context.  This will result in the
response being sent to the location now indicated in the
topmost Via header field value. [..]"
Its a bit more complicated then this excerpt, have a look to the complete section.

Best regards,

Henning
