I agree. But... (isn't there always a caveat?) Would it be so difficult to have perhaps two different proxies? One would be for any SIP messages destined for IP addresses that were not in any of the "localnet=" lines, and one would be for any SIP messages destined for IP addresses that were destined for IP addresses that were NOT in the "localnet=" lines. Of course, leaving them blank would mean that a proxy would not be used for one group or the other. This would allow creation of the concept of "outside" and "inside" at an administrative level using previously-described network definitions in sip.conf. Plus, it would dis-entangle a lot of the logic that one might otherwise have to install on the proxy to reflect certain messages back into NATted zones or otherwise complex internal structures. I have imagined several more complex situations where I'd want to have multiple proxies, each with their own network ACL trigger masks, but I'll stick with the simple case for now. :-) JT --- John Todd email:[email protected] Digium, Inc. | Asterisk Open Source Community Director 445 Jan Davis Drive NW - Huntsville AL 35806 - USA direct: +1-256-428-6083 http://www.digium.com/ _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
