It... depends on who you want to be affected by it. For example:

PJSIP/alice <---> Local;1 <----> Local;2 <---> PJSIP/bob

If you redirect "Local;1" then PJSIP/bob is going to be impacted, because
you're changing what Local;1 is doing.
If you redirect "Local;2" then PJSIP/alice is going to be impacted, because
you're changing what Local;2 is doing.
