Sorry - I was not clear. If you're going to use an out-of-band mechanism to change what the REGISTER message means anyway, why not just use the out of band mechanism to modify the mapping of the set of AORs? Why go to the trouble to use REGISTER in a non-standard way? -- Scott Lawrence tel:+1.781.229.0533;ext=162 or sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] sipXecs project coordinator - SIPfoundry http://www.sipfoundry.org/sipXecs CTO, Voice Solutions - Bluesocket Inc. http://www.bluesocket.com/ http://www.pingtel.com/ _______________________________________________ Sip-implementors mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/sip-implementors
