The bottom line is pretty simple - if you want to do SIP between
domains, you MUST use real registered globally unique DNS names.  That
is not an unreasonably high bar.

The whole '.local' (or other private) domain name concept is a
convenient hack, but it's just that - a local hack.  If you want traffic
to work non-locally, don't use a private domain name.
