Hi Robert,

Please post the dialog module parameters and the SIP trace for the call 
with x-lite - I will check if xlite does something wrong in the 
signalling. Also please attach the full debug log (debug=6) from 
opensips (for the call).

Thanks and regards,
Bogdan

The BYE is there... but after some traces via ngrep/tcpdump I wasn't sure if my Asterisk (1.4) really sent included the did-information within the record-route header in every case (depending if the caller ort he calle hangs up the call). Nevertheless, I tested the different matching modes 0, 1 and 2 - without any difference.

I don't think anything prevents that from happening, and if you added it twice, the destruction of the dialog would only reduce the count by one, instead of two. I may be wrong here.. The times I've had dialogs left open that couldn't get cleared, I had record-routing problems (see list history!) or I was doing something silly with setting the profiles

For this I implemented it with the "Simultaneous-Use" check in FreeRADIUS and it works fine, for outgoing calls initiated from my customers. Just trying to initiate a second call when one is still up, the request is rejected (Proxy authorization fails for the new call).
