[OpenSIPS-Users] Forcing outgoing socket issue?

Hi Ihor,

So, you say OpenSIPS picks the IPv6 address as destination (confirmed by 
the err log), but you are not sure what interface is to be used (even if 
you forced the ipv4 one, it may be discarded by the internal fwd logic).

Could you provide debug level logs for the relaying part ?
