[OpenSER-Users] t_on_branch -- using drop() question?

[Andreas Granig]

Hi,

The config is designed to never relay a request to itself, but instead 
do recursive route processing. So if you do a CFC to a local user, the 
config will take care to do a lookup before a relay, which will change 
the request uri to the IP of the CF target.
