SIPp client to target different hosts

I'm creating a SIPp script to generate a few SIP calls. Since I have 4 servers I need to load balance it between all of them. I understand SIPP will resolve the IP from a DNS at the beginning of the execution and use this IP until the scenario is finished.

In order to change that behavior I followed this suggestion. Basically all I need to do is add this to my uac.xml scenario:

<nop>
  <action>
    <setdest host="[field0 file=iplist.csv]" port="5080" protocol="udp" />
  </action>
</nop>

However I cannot run the scenario if I suppress the remote host from the command line since it throws: Missing remote host parameter. This scenario requires it.

If I pass the remote host it looks like SIPp ignores the action to set the destination host from the uac.xml script.

Can anyone help me to fix this?

You can't load balance from SIPP tool as it requires mandatory host while executing the command. So, you can execute 4 sipp instances with different hosts
