I can add the force_send_socket() sets src. for

One difference from k would be that in k (and older ser) a connection
from IP1->X is equivalent to IP2->x (only the destination is used, if
for example you do force_send_socket(IP2); forward...(X) and a connection
from IP1 -> X already exists, this connection will be used and no new
connection will be created) while in sr the connections will be
different (both the source and the destinations are used => in the above
example a new IP2 -> X connection will be opened even if IP1 -> X
already exists which IMHO is the correct thing to do).
in k i have had to call force_send_socket(EXTERNAL_IP:5060) when requests
comes to proxy from proxy itself at 127.0.0.1 and goes out to an UA. if
i don't do that, source ip in the outgoing request would be 127.0.0.1.
this is both in case of initial and in-dialog requests.
is this compatible and works as is with sr or do i need to make some
changes in my sr config?
It should work out of the box without any force_send_socket, if I understand
you correctly.
The source ip will be 127.0.0.1 only if you send to 127.0.0.1 (or if you
have some strange routing table). If you skip the force_send_socket(), the IP
in Via & RR will be the IP of the first listen address that is not
localhost or mcast.
