Summary:                    nat=no is not RFC 3261 compliant regarding sending
responses
Description: 
A note should be added to sip.conf.sample that using nat=no makes Asterisk
send responses to the address in the "sent-by" value instead of using the
source address of the request. This doesn't comply with RFC 3261 section
18.2.1 and 18.2.2.


   RFC 3261 section 18.2.1 Receiving Requests

   If the host portion of the "sent-by" parameter
   contains a domain name, or if it contains an IP address that differs
   from the packet source address, the server MUST add a "received"
   parameter to that Via header field value.  This parameter MUST
   contain the source address from which the packet was received.  This
   is to assist the server transport layer in sending the response,
   since it must be sent to the source IP address from which the request
   came.


   RFC 3261 section 18.2.2 Sending Responses.

         Otherwise (for unreliable unicast transports), if the top Via
         has a "received" parameter, the response MUST be sent to the
         address in the "received" parameter

Fix the 'nat' option to actually do RFC3581 as expected and extend the
configurable values for finer control.
