If you want outbound's redundant-flow functionality, which is  
dependent on requests NOT forking to each flow to a UA, use outbound  
as specified.

If instead you want your two contacts treated as two different  
instances so that requests will fork to them, use two different  
instance-id values. Essentially, you're using single-contact/single  
flow Outbound (i.e., keepalive and reverse-routing of requests without  
redundant-flow) simultaneously on two different contacts (which may  
well be two different interfaces).

If you want both outbound's features simultaneously on multiple  
instances (or use virtual interfaces by having multiple instances on  
the same interface), then apply outbound as specified on each  
instance, where there are at least two proxies configured for each  
instance.

About the only thing I can see needing to document somewhere is the  
concept of using multiple instance-ids to make virtual interfaces, and  
that's pretty simple.
