Current dev cvs install on two systems. System A is behind a SonicWall

multiple iax links that are fully functional to multiple locations.)

System A is correctly registering with System B, with no special firewall
rules.

Should System B be able to take advantage of the "registration" to send
iax/gsm calls to System A without installing any firewall rules?

I assumed it could, but an ethereal trace indicates a new call is
placed from B -> A, but A never acknowledges the iax2 packet, etc.

The trace suggests the registration is happening with
 src port 28277 (or whatever) -> dest port 4569
however, calls are processed with
 src port 4569 and dest port 4569

Shouldn't we expect src=4569 and dest=4569 on all iax2 interactions?

If src=4569 and dst=4569 always, then it would be impossible to have more than one IAX2 talker behind a firewall talking to an external Asterisk server, right? There would be no method by which the firewall would "know" which packet was destined for what device inside the firewall, since the source port and destination port would be the same for each "connection". I'm not thinking this through completely, and it seems like there is a flaw in this argument... but with UDP, there is no sequence number that should have attention paid to it (like TCP) so... er... someone tell me why this is incorrect.


note: firewall in this case is really "NAT", right?
