I'm currently using the attached 'sip set options \{on|off\}' command to explicitly enable 200 OK responses to OPTIONS. Defaults to on.

> I want asterisk to be able to inform a call distribution proxy which is performing OPTIONS pings that it doesn't want to receive any calls -- without setting the ast_shutting_down() flag. The ast_shutting_down() flag causes channel creation to fail in ast_channel_alloc(), but I want calls in-progress to be able to proceed with their IVR dialplans which often result in an outbound Dial.
> 'core stop gracefully' is actually not sufficiently "graceful" since it blocks new outbound calls, and 'core stop when convenient' makes asterisk continue to respond to OPTIONS with 200 OK.
