IMO, if Asterisk should be able to handle spiraled requests, then it 
should just create a new dialog for the incoming call - thus having 2 
dialogs (one outgoing and one incoming) for a spiraled call.

Incoming Routing just depends on source IP address of the incoming 
request (e.g. a SIP proxy which forwards the call from a GW-Asterisk to 
the same GW-Asterisk)
