Basically, outbound proxy serves outbound calls, the inbound calls are
handled by proxy, that gets your current contact from location
service, which is updated by registrar. Your UA talks directly to
registrar and outbound proxy only.

Usually the registrar/location service/proxy is co-located, they run
on a single server and they usually are a single piece of software,
too. (Location service can use external DB.)
