 From what I understood, at least RFC 3261/3263 doesn't say that DNS SRV 
resolution needs to be done for dialog establishing requests *only*, so 
I think UA should perform SRV everytime it sends requests, inside or 
outside dialog.

The only exception to this is CANCEL, which must be sent to the server 
that was contacted by the original INVITE.

More over, if a proxy insists that all requests should go to that 
particular server, it can put Route header specifying the hostname or IP 
address of that server. Because of this, it seems logical to assume that 
DNS SRV (plus fail-over) can be done for every requests, unless the 
Route says that the request should go to a particular server.
