I think it would make configuration much simpler to be able to run the
proxy at a port other than 5060 and make that be configurable via
sipxconfig.

In addition, It might make sense to add a statless proxy capability to
sipxbridge. This way, if sipxbridge can identify requests originating
from remote workers it can statelessly proxy these requests to the
proxy server ( no relays, SIP Transactions or Dialogs involved - just
add a Via header and forward the request. Strip the via header for
responses to proxied requests and forward them ). A single public
signaling port needs to be configured and exposed through the firewall
and that port can be 5060.  There is no need for split DNS.

The two approaches are not mutually exclusive.

The down side to the stateless proxy is that it winds up being a
single point of failure. Our redundancy solution of registering the
remote worker phone with each of the redundant proxy servers will not
work any more. It also adds signaling overhead.

P.S. This just in from Tony: Bandwidth.com apparently does allow you
to set the port so you can make it send signaling at any port you
want. This temporarily solves our problem. Others may not be so
flexible.

My 2c...

Ranga.
