Hello,

I read the list archives but couldn't find a definite answer on an
issue.

A client sends a REGISTER message to a SIP Proxy, which changes the
Contact: header to itself, but leaves the From: intact. The message is
then forwarded to the REGISTAR. Some questions:

*Is this enough to guarantee that inbound messages will be directed to
such Proxy? Assuming of course the Registar is queried by other Proxies?


* Is it guaranteed that the 200OK for the REGISTER will go through the
Proxy? Given that Record-Route is not processed in REGISTER messages I
got the impression that the REGISTAR could (at least theoretically) send
the 200OK message directly to the endpoint

Does this Proxy registration mechanism have any implication in REGISTER
call flows where authentication is used? 

I looked at RFC3327 but it seems in that case the Contact: header isn't
changed. Besides it seems to assume that DNS is not used.

Finally, how widespread is RFC3327?

Thanks,

Reinaldo
