If the proxy must see all requests within the dialog, the proxy must
insert a Record-Route header into the dialog-forming request as it
passes through.

Many clients permit configuring an "outbound proxy".  That is not part
of the standard, but is a common feature of many products.  Usually,
it means that *all* requests by the client are sent to the outbound
proxy, regardless of the standard SIP addressing rules.  Some clients
may interpret the outbound proxy to only receive dialog-forming
requests.

It helps if you plug all the devices into a "hub", a device which is
stupid enough that it relays all incoming Ethernet frames to *all*
outgoing ports.  Then if you run Wireshark on a computer connected to
the hub and set Wireshark to capture in "promiscuous" mode (accepting
all destination addresses), it will see the Ethernet frames between
any two hosts on the hub.
