I don't think we can do the dialer watch-list with callback the way you
describe here. The reason is as soon as the watched route disappear, it will
trigger r1 to call r2, however, r2 has to drop the call to call r1 back, and
this will trigger r1 to make another call. The result is we'll be in some
kind of race condition, you call me, I call you, ... sometimes it will get
settle down, but you probably cannot expect you are going to have a
consistent result. This can be seen via debug command. Anyway, the best we
can do is to make r1 as the callback server and r2 as callback client, I
know this doesn't make a whole lot of sense, as when r1 call r2, it just
connect the call and r2 will not callback, but what else can you do to have
both live peacefully together?

just my 2 cents.
