Hi, So, you are proposing that each element should be a B2BUA, and both elements then register towards each other and use Outbound???

(using existing outbound functionality, perhaps both ways) Regards, Jeroen Hadriel Kaplan wrote: > Yes I am of that same opinion - that any real "IP-PBX" or whatever big > enough NOT to be doing Registration, and to instead do static provisioning or > DNS, would be given a static hole/DMZ address in their firewall/NAT.
