You can almost get it, if your NAT will hairpin, by having your "internal" phones all present their external addresses. Then all phones will appear external, and all can talk to one another (though there can still be port change problems on reinvite if you don't do explicit ports) -- but internal to internal (and all other internal involved calls) will go through your NAT box, not your Asterisk box. However, the NAT must hairpin audio, and a lot of them don't. Here is Cullen's latest chart of who hairpins: http://tools.ietf.org/wg/behave/draft-jennings-behave-test-results-03.txt Only a few do it, and only a few make his "group A" category at all. Of course, many of these boxes are not expensive so it may be worth switching, though many of us love the WRT54G and its clones because of the ability to use open source firmware. However, the bastard does not hairpin, I don't know if any of the new firmwares do. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
