> This can cause serious problems, because if the other end is also an ATS server, also defaulting to thinking it's on 127.0.0.1, will treat this as a loop, and send a 400 response.
> We ought to try to send something more intelligent as the hex-IP in the request Via: header. This is particularly problematic when ATS is used as a forward (or intercepting) proxy, and have outgoing Via: headers enabled.
