Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I, however, use only one proxy and that single proxy
has inserted 3 via headers of its own. Please see the Invite from the UA and
the corresponding Invite forwarded by the proxy below. My question again is-
Is it OK to have more than one Via headers inserted by a single proxy? Is it
defined in RFC?

Thanks
Padmaja
