Ok, so I assume your system's default route goes though 207.x and you 
actually want the packets to be relayed through 66.x

You'll need to specify the 207.x IP address as it's the one being used 
to connect to the dispatcher.

You're correct. That avp will alter the the algorithm used for selecting 
the relay by preferring the one specified, but in case it's not 
available it will fall-back to the normal behavior and choose a working 
relay.
