Right, I will consider doing it.

IMHO it's very hard since it requires two proxies to behave as "open
relay". It would be easier with in-dialog requests however. But my
proxy does not allow an in-dialog request if it does not contain Route
header(s) pointing to it, so after the first iteration it would reject
the same in-dialog request if it comes back.
