The call distributor only distributes incoming SIP calls among multiple proxies 
or may be even SIP UAs (like a SIP-PSTN GW). The SIP-GWs would listen on 
non-standard ports. The call distributor would receive INVITEs etc on port 5060 
and send them to the SIP GW which may be listening on port 10,000. Now, the 
re-transmitted INVITEs would still come to the call distributor. And also until 
the SIP GW can give its new contact in the 200 Ok or possibly in an UPDATE, 
subsequent requets (like PRACK) might come through the call distributor. In 
such cases, the distributor would need to send the subsequent requests to the 
same GW (as the first INVITE was sent to). Now, for this purpose, is it enough 
that the distributor looks at just the Call-Id and not other tags and 
parameters?

What is a SIP call distributor?

If it is a proxy then 3261 should tell you all you need to know.
