A SIP load balander is in fact a SIP proxy (generally in stateless),
so it must add's a Via header.

The resopnse should traverse the load balancer. This is by SIP
definition. Imagine two cases:

1) Load balancer ---> SIP UDP ---> UAS
In this case the UAS would reply to the Via sent-by in case it's equal
to the load balancer IP address. In case the Via sent-by added by the
load balancer is a hostname then the UAS would add
"received=REAL_SOURCE_IP_OF_LOAD_BALANCER" to Via and sent replies
there,

2) Load balancer ---> SIP TCP ---> UAS
By definition a UAS msut reply using the incoming TCP connection.
