[SR-Users] Parallel forking - first responder wins

It should be noted at a rather general level that parallel forking is
replete with race conditions, and is a nasty and unwieldy aspect of SIP.

The pain of using parallel forking to implement something like "ring
groups", for example, is often not worth the savings in architectural
complexity.

If you have some other means of accomplishing what you want to
accomplish, e.g. using a B2BUA to generate multiple independent call
legs simultaneously ringing multiple destinations, I strongly advise you
to go with that instead.
