I have the ser proxy local installed, and sent an INVITE to it with the
route header:
Route: <sip:iptel.org;lr>

my ser proxy forwards the request to the iptel proxy and removes the
route header. But the INVITE of the forwarded message looks like this:
INVITE sip:iptel.org;lr SIP/2.0

and the iptel proxy replies with 404 Not Found - seems like ser acts
like a mixture of strict (rewrite of the request uri) and loose routing.

I would say the rewritting of the first ser proxy is wrong, because it
shouldn't rewrite the request uri.

Furthermore I found in the RFC3261 that if the route header is the same
as the proxy it should remove it and forward the message. Looks like ser
is playing wrong. We should write the iptel guys an email, I'm sure they
know more about this.

Not sure yet - this routing behavior is to complicated for me so I can't
(will not) verify it. I hope your right! :-)

Good for you - IMHO gnome2 is very slow. :-(
