No, it's not the case. The phone seems to work properly. It recognizes primary 
proxy failure and send INVITEs to the backup proxy. It does it for all lines.
It just doesn't register lines 2-6 with backup proxy, so inbound calls for the
numbers configured on those lines fail.
I was hoping that somebody more experienced than myself could confirm or 
refute it. May be somebody tried it with the latest software releases?

Well, I guess outbound proxy is a different story.
Thanks anyway.
