Kamailio doesn't do any ICMP processing by itself. I noticed that some recent kernels do that when an app tries to send out via UDP to an invalid ip/port in the same network and sendto() fails immediately, but does detect for other target nodes not in the same local network.
You can lower the retransmission timeout to cope better with such case and fail over to next route faster.
