Yes in general Redirect Server allows the SIP Server to search for alternate locations where a user might be found. A Redirect Server accepts a SIP request, maps the address to zero or more new alternate addresses and returns these addresses to the client. It may return alternate or refined URIs or it may return IP addresses. Unlike a proxy server, it does not initiate its own SIP request.

Redirect server—UAs and proxy servers can contact a redirect server to find the location of an endpoint. This is particularly useful in a network that has mobile users whose location changes. The redirect server can let its clients know that a user has moved either temporarily or permanently. It can also return multiple possible addresses for the user, if necessary. When a UA has multiple addresses, the proxy server can fork the call, sending it to each address either simultaneously or sequentially. This allows "Find Me/Follow Me" type services. Cisco routers can act as SIP redirect servers.

It helps endpoints to find the desired address by redirecting them to try another server.
