From: Michael Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Given that a particular IP address might serve many, many different URI's (think about the outsourced case), I doesn't seem to me that this would be a very good assumption. It might be perfectly reasonable for a method to traverse from IP address A and then back through IP address A again without being a loop since it might be outsource1.com through outsource2.com which is legal, right? This case certainly comes up with email and is actually really common(*).
But if sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] is turned into sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED], it hasn't looped yet. It's only when the latter gets turned into sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] again that there's a loop. And in any case, these are DNS names, not IP addresses, so they're not relevant to the question at hand. (Amusingly, "..." is a legitimate user-part in a SIP URI.)
