[cisco-voip] SIP option ping prioritization

[Anthony Holloway]

I should have also mentioned that interface binding is very important not
only from where you'll source your OPTIONS messages, but also from where
you'll reply to them.  I've seen the layer 4 and down be correct due to
where the OPTIONS was received, but then layer 5 was displaying a different
IP address.  Make sure you bind on all dial-peers, but you only need
OPTIONS configured on outgoing dial-peers.
