Hello Daniel, I did think of this, but yes, that’s exactly my problem. Penetration testing will highlight any and all tricks I might employ, definitely looking like we're going to need to do extend Kamailio somehow. If we can do it in a way that isn’t internally sensitive, I’ll propose we create a pull request, maybe help someone else in the future?
