That's no different than a POTS PBX having PRI trouble, or a bad analog PSTN 
line.  Internal calls work, external ones don't.  It would be very odd to have 
a PBX that cannot make internal calls because a back hoe took out the PRI 
line...why would't we expect the same from VoIP?  If the "internet" is down, 
but the "intranet" is up, I sure would expect internal calls to work.

If sipXrelay isn't up, the proxy can send back the appropriate cause code 
making it clear why the call didn't go through.

If the Internet goes down using sipXbridge to connect to an ITSP andyour 
internal users (sitting in the same place where the sipxinstallation is) can't 
call and tell you they can't make outgoing callsbecause sipxrelay won't let 
them?

Of course a remote user can't jump on a cell phone and call in either because 
sipxrelay could block that too?
