Timo,

    Thats correct - however I am calling this before loose_route, perhaps that is my problem and need for calling dlg_get?  Let me give this a go - and I will respond back with my findings, thanks!

Sincerely,
Brandon Armstead

OK, very good. :)

Let me make sure that this isn't a dialog module bug: You are now calling dlg_get() followed by dlg_bye() with proper parameters from within the Kamailio configuration script? if so, you shouldn't need to call dlg_get() in the first place, at least not if you place dlg_bye() after the call to loose_route(). Contrary, using certain dialog features (including dlg_bye()) from reply routes isn't completely possible yet which could explain your findings.


Cheers,

--Timo

An idea I have what you could possibly be doing wrong is not using the CSeq numbers that each party expects. I don't have the details at hand but if either CSeq number is off your UAs won't accept the BYE request.
