if it is opensips related, you are on the right list :)

This is the first scenario where * is fronting OpenSIPS ...typically is 
the other way around :D

Normally, the call transfer (from the phone) is done via a REFER request 
(inside the ongoing dialog) - What I suspect is that , as * is in the 
path of all calls with external users, * will intercept the REFER and 
try to handle it locally.

Try to get a trace and see if this is what happens = REFER being 
consumed by *, instead of passing it to the external party.
