[asterisk-dev] outboundproxy in [general] section - is it a bug?

[Chris Maciejewski]

Hi,

I am trying to force Asterisk (SVN-branch-1.6.1-r161639) to send all
SIP signalling via a proxy server.

Unfortunately when I put in sip.conf:
[general]
...
outboundproxy=proxy.domain:5060

and try to Dial(SIP/enum-test at sip.nemox.net), I am getting the
following error in the console:

    -- Executing [43780004711 at dialSIP:3]
Dial("SIP/dev-sip.tele500.com-08204d10",
"SIP/enum-test at sip.nemox.net") in new stack
  == Using SIP RTP CoS mark 5
[Dec  9 15:39:35] ERROR[2344]: chan_sip.c:19423 handle_request_do: We
could NOT get the channel lock for SIP/sip.nemox.net-08210dc8!
[Dec  9 15:39:35] ERROR[2344]: chan_sip.c:19424 handle_request_do: SIP
transaction failed: 365c9c8209a3163523bd79782dc9d208 at 78.105.1.129
    -- Got SIP response 503 "Server error" back from 0.0.0.0
    -- Called enum-test at sip.nemox.net
    -- SIP/sip.nemox.net-08210dc8 is circuit-busy

When I use IP address instead of a domain name:
[general]
...
outboundproxy=proxy_IP_address:5060

There is an error as below:

    -- Executing [43780004711 at dialSIP:3]
Dial("SIP/dev-sip.tele500.com-b7208810",
"SIP/enum-test at sip.nemox.net") in new stack
  == Using SIP RTP CoS mark 5
    -- Called enum-test at sip.nemox.net
    -- Got SIP response 482 "Loop Detected" back from 0.0.0.0

In both cases no SIP packets are leaving Asterisk.

Am I missing something, or there is a problem with outboundproxy in
"general" section of sip.conf file.

Kind regards,

Chris
