[Users] Registrar-initiated Route changes on Invite?

[Klaus Darilion]

obviously openser process route information when the message is 
received, not during sending. Thus, adding route headers will not change 
the routing of the message.

How do you insert the route headers? Via AVP? If yes, try to push the 
next hop into the destination URI (openser differs between destination 
URI and request URI. If duri is set, openser will forward to duri 
isnstead of ruri).

   avp_pushto("$duri","i:11"); (i:11 stores the URI of the next proxy)
