Summary:                    Calls are not accepted from an outbound proxy
Description: 
find_peer does not make a match between a received invite and a peer if the
invite comes from the outboundproxy rather than directly from the host. 

For example if a peer has the following sip.conf:

[mytrunk]
host=sip.myitsp.net
port=5060
outboundproxy=nat.myitsp.net:5082

an invite from nat.myitsp.net:5082 is not matched to peer mytrunk

This is a problem for applications in which a natproxy is used for both
incoming and outgoing calls.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
The outbound proxy, like any other proxys, has to be a peer by itself in
sip.conf.

However, if you declare users we will match users first and ignore the
proxy. The users match on the From: username - not the IP and port address.
That is the way it works now. That's one of the reasons why we do have
realtime users (not peers).

In the future, we will redesign this for domain based matching, but it's
not easily possible now. And that kind of matching would be a feature
request you can file on http://www.asteriskideas.org.

This is not a bug report and should be closed.
