Unfortunately, with thin margins and scarcity of good quality routes to certain destinations, people do attempt to find out who is actually at the end of a route and circumvent the person in between.
In certain softswitches and session controllers you can effectively proxy both the signalling (SIP/H.323) and the RTP stream. BTW - I have joined this list as I have a number of customers who are using * and I was keen to find out a bit more.
