Hi!

My telco is Deutsche Telekom and they got about 30 SIP servers right now. Currently I've set up a template for incoming calls in sip.conf and added each SIP server by it's IP address like this:

[DTAG-in-1](DTAG-in-template)
host=217.0.16.103

...

[DTAG-in-30](DTAG-in-template)
host=217.0.20.99

I've done that to improve security and to be able to assign all calls coming in via Deutsche Telekom to a dedicated dialplan context. Unfortunately this approach is not scalable and it's a PITA to maintain a list of server IP addresses since Deutsche Telekom will get more SIP servers in the future. They've started to migrate the classic POTS/ISDN network to VoIP, the goal is get it done by 2016. Customers with DSL get VoIP directly, i.e. they need SIP phones or a SIP PBX, and customers with a phone line only are converted by the MSAN. And they don't provide an official list of the SIP servers :-( By some reverse engineering I found out that all SIP servers are within a specific subnet. Is there any way to match peers by subnet(s) instead of FQDNs or single IP addresses? If not, it would be a feature really needed to be able to cope with telcos running multiple or tons of SIP servers.

You could consider making use of opensips. We use it for inbound sip connections and its fairly easy to get it to perform a database lookup against a connecting IP address and pull out a record and pass that onto Asterisk using a custom header. Asterisk can then trust connections from opensips and you can read in the custom header and have the dialplan decide what to do based upon the value.
