I believe you are looking for sip-options-respond-503-on-busy:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Sofia_Configuration_Files#sip-options-respond-503-on-busy:

"Setting this param to true is especially useful if you're using a
proxy such as OpenSIPS or Kamailio with dispatcher module to probe
your FreeSWITCH servers by sending SIP OPTIONS. "
