Chris:

On prelusde I use to open to the inside not the outside, if you have like snort 
on your firewall. I found that if I did not it would not work otherwise. If you 
have no sensors on your firewall you will not need it.

On the Phone it makes it easier for me to follow what I have open. The nice 
thing is anyone then can comment out what they want to keep closed. It is just 
a personal pref. I would edit down the SIP for your application as you only 
need one Port, but this way it will work if you have 5090 instead of 5060. I 
just place all possible in the macro so those who do not know the port numbers 
have a referance to work with.

I can't comment on the Prelude macro, but the Phone one seems wrong to me. I 
wouldn't want to open SIP, IAX, RTP _and_ MGCP for phones - in fact I'm only 
really likely to want one or two at a time. Separate SIP, IAX and MGCP macros 
make more sense to me. Also, you only need RTP for SIP unless I'm mistaken 
(definitely not IAX, no idea about MGCP), and the 'sip' conntrack helper is 
usually clever enough to classify RTP as 'related' so it automatically flows 
through. Maybe a separate RTP macro as well?

HTH,
Chris
