Clear now with this and Klaus' explanation. In that case To: header  
was the only way for internal routing on Asterisk but RPID for an  
incoming INVITE should have the caller number, not the called one...  
until i readed the Cisco draft and saw the "called" value for "party"  
parameter :-)

Thanks!.
