saying that the dialog module is broken is an over-statement - I admit 
there are some issues that still need to be worked out in the module 
(forking and early dialogs) - see the thread on the devel mailing list, 
but otherwise the module is pretty fine.

That explains why you have such a good opinion over the dialog module 
;). So I understand your statements on the  OpenSIPS dialog module is 
done without actually testing it...

you can do the same think in many ways. Depends of what you aim to do 
and how suitable to components you are using are for your purpose - a 
B2BUA is a powerful component (and intensive resource consumer) you can 
use for changing a header in a request or for doing complex call/media 
bridging .
