[SR-Users] Forcing Outbound Socket

[Arsen Semenov]

It is possible with TCP. Moreover Kamailio is trying to reuse the tcp
connection whenever the destination address is matching an active one.
The standard way is good, but in the real world you could face some devices
which do not support "outbound" properly, so you can leverage functions
exposed by nathelper module to ensure correct routing.
