Using a different port for Asterisk is not a bad idea. I might just try that. I 
will return with the results or any follow up questions.

Hello,

the simplest way is to listen on another port (e.g., 5080) and use that socket 
to communicate with Asterisk. For that listen parameter, do not set the 
advertise address. You can use $fs or force_send_socket() to specify the socket 
to be used for sending out to Asterisk.

The alternative is to play in the config file with the function of the rr 
module that allow you to set the address in the Record-/Route headers, but it 
may increase the complexity of the config.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello,

I am not successful in my attempts to configure my Kamailio to work behind NAT.

The flow of an incoming call is Provider (Internet) -> AWS LoadBalancer -> 
Kamailio -> Asterisk

Both the Kamailio and Asterisk is on the internal network. The issue I am 
having is that I need to add Record-Route to the traffic sent back towards the 
provider, but not to the Asterisk. Currently when I add the record_route() the 
header is sent to Asterisk which makes it reply to the Kamailio advertised 
external address for ACKs, BYEs etc.

I have dumbed down my Kamailio config as much as possible for this, to show 
what I am currently doing.
