[Asterisk-Dev] sip nat autodetect?

[Chris Albertson]

The best "fix" would be to simply have a way to tell Asterisk
to send outbound SIP through a proxy.  Once Asterisk can do
that you can use the facilities of the SIP proxy to mangle
packets any way you want.  SER is a proxy and the (Perl-like)
configuration language is quite powerfull.  Asterisk _could_
be made to do all the tricks that a real SER proxy can do but
why? 

Currently SIP is only usable with clients that are on the same
side of the firewall as the Asterisk server.

Am I volenteering for to make a patch.  I'd have to understand
SIP bether first.  That first, hack the code later.
