Asterisk is a back-to-back user agent (not a proxy!), and as such, it
doesn't always relay the exact same SIP responses back to the first leg
of the call.

Right now, I don't know of any configuration that can be done with
Asterisk that can achieve that behavior.  Somebody smarter than I am
will have to answer the question of how hard it would be to change the
Asterisk source code to do that (and whether or not that's the right
thing for Asterisk to do).
