I have a patch that adds the third choice to 
autocreatepeer=[no|yes|durable]. I am going to submit it after a few 
days in production to verify there are no ill side effects. Questions:

1. Is `durable' a good name for it? Not sure I like it.
2. I was going to update sip.conf.sample and learned that the option
    autocreatepeer is not documented at all. SHOULD it be documented?
    The feature is an awful security risk in itself if used improperly.

Thanks,
