Hi all,

I've been reading through the documentation online fore a few days, and I've 
read through a lot of the user & developer artchives.  I'm trying to figure out 
if OperSER is the right proxy solution for the problem that I'm trying to 
solve.  I was hoping that I could get a few pointes from some more experienced 
users.

My first question is really simple... I must have the terminology wrong, 
otherwise I'm sure that I would have found the answer by now.  I have a big 
expensive gateway, but it can't do a few things that I really want to do.  I'm 
hoping to augment my big expensive gateway with OpenSER, so that I can do some 
specific routing.  I want my network to look something like this:

--------------

    (Public IP network)        (Private IP network)

 .----------.
 | carriers |-----. 
 '----------'     |    .-----------.
                  '----| Big       |    .-------.
                       | Expensive |----| Proxy |
 .------.         .----| Gateway   |    '-------'
 | PBXs |---------'    '-----------'
 '------'
----------

my solution involves customer-premise based PBXs that my company makes in 
house. I want the gateway to act as a session border controller.  It'll take 
care of forwarding me media, and it'll take care of protecting my proxy from 
the public internet. 

For inbound calls (calls coming from another carrier to my big expensive 
gateway & destined for a specific PBX),  I'd like my gateway to send the call 
to the proxy, who will determine which PBX to send the call to, and then send 
the call to to correct PBX via the Gateway.  I don't understand how to set up 
OpenSER to send the call via the Gateway.  If I provision the static ip address 
of the PBX in the proxy, won't it try to send directly to that IP address 
instead of sending it to the Gateway?  I think that the feature that I'm 
looking for is something like an outbound proxy, for the proxy. (does that make 
sense?)

Sorry to write such a long e-mail to the mailing list!  I wanted this to be 
descriptive enough that you all would know what I mean.

THANKS!
