I'm not sure about the maddr parameter. doesn't it mean that the request should be forwarded to this IP regardsless of the domain? If yes, the DNS lookup can be skipped.

hi
i recently bounced into this problem, and i'm not sure here. i'm running the openser-devel, with the cacheless db_mode=3. (works fine btw)

the record-route header received by the proxy on the other side (SNOM4S), 
inserts
the domain name (iptel1.ipatl.se) and not the hostname (sip.iptel1.ipatl.se) in the record-route header, and uses the maddr=<ip_of_server> with the actual server IP address.

now, when my client (behind the OpenSER) replies with an ACK to the incomming OK, it uses the Route-header recieved in the RR-header, and sends the ACK to OpenSER. i then get the following errors in OpenSER.
---
/usr/local/sbin/openser[3583]: ERROR: mk_proxy: could not resolve hostname: 
"iptel1.ipatl.se"
/usr/local/sbin/openser[3583]: ERROR: uri2proxy: bad host name in URI <sip:[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]:5060;maddr=172.28.248.66;transport=udp;lr>
---

the ACK i sent look like this:

---
Request-Line: ACK sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];gruu=6fg9n6dl SIP/2.0
      Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 172.28.248.52:2051;branch=z9hG4bK-d96b1fvapkyn;rport

as far as i understand, according the rfc 3263, the route-header may contain 
domain name that
has to be resolved using SRV.

"6 Constructing SIP URIs

   In many cases, an element needs to construct a SIP URI for inclusion
   in a Contact header in a REGISTER, or in a Record-Route header in an
   INVITE.  According to RFC 3261 [1], these URIs have to have the
   property that they resolve to the specific element that inserted
   them.  However, if they are constructed with just an IP address, for
   example:

   sip:1.2.3.4

   then should the element fail, there is no way to route the request or
   response through a backup.

   SRV provides a way to fix this.  Instead of using an IP address, a
   domain name that resolves to an SRV record can be used:

   sip:server23.provider.com"

now, OpenSER only asks DNS for an A record of the name recieved in the route 
header,
and since that's a domain name, it's unresolvable, and so the ACK is never sent. any hints or clues?
