I noticed Scott's comments about the fact that we should not use IP
address/port as an authenticator:
http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev/msg13439.html.
With that in the past the best way I can think of to police PSTN calls
via gateways would be to use IP address/port-based ACLs on the gateway
to restrict calls to only those coming from (and
authenticated/authorized by) sipXproxy. This ensures gateway calls can
not be made by pointing a SIP endpoint directly to the gateway.

sipXbridge is a new stand alone proxy server application, which is a
gate for outgoing calls via ITSPs. I am wondering what can be done or is
being considered as a solution to prevent people from sending calls
directly to sipXbridge and bypassing the sipXproxy.

Alternatively, are there mechanisms implemented in sipXbridge to reject
calls from anywhere but the sipXproxy. I suppose logic that would use
signed sipX-identity can be used to implement such a mechanism.

Thanks,
Mark.
