Unfortunately you can see this happening a lot in the diameter world.
You have request with dest-host: X and receives response from Orig-Host: Y.
It happens sometimes because there is a pool of servers, sometimes because other peer “stole” the request and there are probably more reasons.
But I started with Unfortunately because sometime diameter peers take this Y and use it in the next request as dest-host AVP (instead of using X as they should)
This is why it is not recommended to do so
