Hi,

I am looking into using in-dialog OPTIONs to implement a keep-alive mechanism 
for the MOH and park server. 

>From the RFC:

11.2 Processing of OPTIONS Request

   An OPTIONS request received within a dialog generates a 200 (OK)
   response that is identical to one constructed outside a dialog and
   does not have any impact on the dialog.

   This use of OPTIONS has limitations due to the differences in proxy
   handling of OPTIONS and INVITE requests.  While a forked INVITE can
   result in multiple 200 (OK) responses being returned, a forked
   OPTIONS will only result in a single 200 (OK) response, since it is
   treated by proxies using the non-INVITE handling.  See Section 16.7
   for the normative details.


I don't think this limitation affects us.. While using re-INVITEs would be 
ideal for keep-alives, most phones don't don't seem to support handling 
re-INVITEs from the MOH server. Does anyone have opinion against this method?

Thanks,

Arjun
