I did the same (as in clients can choose to setup their endpoints this
way, but nobody is doing it at this moment).

This depends on what dbmode you have set. db_mode 3 will cache nothing
and do a DB lookup for all actions. This is also safe for what you are
wanting to to (in my experience).

ruid: doesn't matter (I set it to username)
expires: I have it set to just before the end of the current unix time,
         2018-01-01 00:00:00
callid: a unique random string (substr(md5(time().rand()),0,16))
cseq: 1
flags: 0 (?)
cflag: 128 (?)
methods: 6879 (?)

But doing it through kamcmd might be the better answer that is already
given.
