It needs the IP so that it can do matching based on what it sees in the 
SIP headers, and so that it can add proper Via headers and such on the 
way out.

No, I don't think the IP of A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET should be embedded in 
that function either. Someone please find out when it was put there and 
why, so we can get it taken care of...
