My mission is to get one * box to dial another * box' extensions. I
have set this up previously without any issues by making a simple IAX
trunk/extension pair on the two boxes and create a dial plan with a
prefix like 9|XXX to select an extension on the other box.

My problem is that I now have to do this with extremely restrictive
firewalls thrown into the mix - firewalls I have no control over.
Basically, the setup is:

*1 <---> FW1 <---> (Internet) <---> FW2 <---> FW3 <---> *2

I have control over firewall 1 and 3, but not 2. Using port forwarding
(4569 UDP) on FW1, I have been able to make calls from *2 to *1. My
problem lies with making calls the other way, as I have no way of port
forwarding on FW2.

If FW2 and FW3 permit outbound UDP and associated replies you won't need to.
(even if they NAT them).

Set up 4569 on FW1 to go to *1
Add *2 as a peer (and user) in iax.conf on *1
Do _nothing_ with FW3
Set up *2 to _register_ with *1

The repeated registration from 2 to 1 will keep the any
NAT's and port maps open and tell 1 how to reach 2.

(IAX is great)

Tim.
