I have an edge-proxy which accepts TCP connections from clients. When I know that the clients are behind NATs (for example), I use the set_forward_no_connect() function to force connection reuse and avoid timeouts. In the case where the connection has already gone, the system sends a "477 Unfortunately error on sending to next hop occurred (477/TM)" response back to the registrar. These connections are using outbound, so I would like to convert this into a "430 Flow Failed" response to the registrar, but the 477 response doesn't seem to trigger the onreply_route or failure_route. Is there a way of trapping and handling this failure? If not, do we need more flexibility in handling this particular tcp_send error (or other similar ones)? Other systems may wish to try additional destinations from the failure route. Snippets of my cfg and logs are below. The con_reuse flag is checked in tcp_send at tcp_main.c:1846
