Yeah, that's walking the DNS tree.  It is valuable; heck, IETF's own
mailservers are doing it to reduce spam so it Must Be Good!  :-)

DERIVE is checking to see if your SIP routing takes you to the
same place that (claims to) be originating the incoming INVITE.  
It is using your *outgoing* SIP routing -- which you must already 
trust to send outbound messages -- to test the validity of the
(proported) From: address of an incoming INVITE.


Such a return routability check is probably the best SIP can do in the
presence of SBCs and the inability to get
draft-fischer-sip-e2e-sec-media-01.txt or draft-wing-sip-identity-media-03.txt
off the ground.
