There was a recent thread on the 305 response. See http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/sip/current/msg11558.html for a proposed clarification of its meaning.

Hi All,

In RFC3261, it is mentioned that proxy server can send "305 Use Proxy"
response back to SIP phone. And, SIP phone needs to send INVITE to the
uri specified in Contact field of "305 Use Proxy" response.

However, I tried several SIP phones, only one SIP phone does it
perfectly. It does send INVITE to another SIP proxy specified in
Contact field of "305 SIP Proxy". Other SIP phones do something wierd.
For instance, it does change To: field to be uri specified in Contact:
field but it still keeps sending INVITE to original SIP proxy. (Only
To: field is changed but destination IP is not changed)

I am wondering if "305 Use Proxy" supported by most SIP phone vendors
currently? I would like to redirect INVITE request from one SIP proxy
to another SIP proxy by this manner. But, it requires that most SIP
phone vendors support "305 Use Proxy".

Or, does anybody know other better solutions of doing
redirect/load-balance?

Regards,
Chiuan
