Exactly.  The inbound call becomes an outbound call, via a dial rule that 
requires the permissions.

But a Site-to-Site dial rule by definition has no required permissions.  
Therefore, there is no point in configuring a remote site with TLS Peer if 
you're going to use a Site-to-Site dial rule.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here...  "Site-to-Site" isn't a good name 
for this dial rule type, since it's useless in the TLS Peer remote site 
scenario.  A more accurate name would be "Permission-less Custom".  :)


Having calls fail because the caller lacks the required permissions is not a 
Site-to-Site specific problem.  Maybe we should enhance CDR to show when a call 
fails because of permissions?  Bonus points if it also displays which 
permission(s) were lacking.


But I think a permission-less version of the Custom dial plan type (by whatever 
name) adds complexity without value.  I propose that we remove it as part of 
XX-7822.
