Pretty much yes.

The phone needs to use HTTP to retrieve its registration/display
configuration, which will trigger a script that generates the unique ID
dynamically.  (Scott pointed out this Apache trick to me.  No plans to
try this from the FTP server.)

For Polycoms the default 000000000000.cfg file can forward the phone to
an HTTP address for the rest of its configuration files.

Nortel IP 1200 firmware packages have a file with a command that
dictates the protocol the phone should use to retrieve its MAC
configuration file.  That should work too.  (Not planned at this point.)

Snoms I think request their configuration files via HTTP by default,
which should also work.  (Not planned.) 


This actually made me realize that the phone does not need to report its
MAC in the User-Agent header.  The script that is triggered should be
able to determine the MAC of the phone from the HTTP URL.  The script
could then include the MAC in the generated registration configuration,
such that the phone puts it into the user-part of the From: header in
the REGISTER message.

It means one more header to be examined by the auto-provisioning
feature, but it eliminates the phone requirement that seems to be least
commonly implemented.
