Even though it is not explicitly stated,
RFC 3261 Sec 20.34 reads
The Route header field is used to force routing for a request through
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the listed set of proxies. Examples of the use of the Route header
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
field are in Section 16.12.1.

Thanks for you reply.
I couldn't find mention of this explicitly anywhere in the RFC. Can you
please give me any pointer to section within RFC which deals with this.
I expected section 16.5 Determining Request Targets, to explictly mention
that if route is present then it would be placed as the only entry within
the
target set.
Thanks
Sachin

Hi,
According to the RFC, If the domain of the request-uri is of proxies domain
then proxy is responsible for routing the request. What would happen if
the domain of the request URI is proxies domain, but the request also
contains route header?
What should proxy do? Forward the request to the location in the route
header? Or do a locations search and forward to the locations returned
from the search.
[Raja] First preference always goes to the Route irrespective of whether the
proxy is responsible for the domain or not
Thanks
Sachin
