Possibly ... it this is it's purpose, then it may be a bug ...

The difference changing bindaddr causes is in the "Contact" field of the SIP 
header:

With bindaddr = <external IP>, the following is sent to the phone:

	Contact: <sip:*98 at 192.168.1.102>

With bindaddr = 0.0.0.0 and externip=<external IP> :

	Contact: <sip:*98 at externalIP>

I'm guessing that the phone doesn't know where to send the response, so I see 
a bunch of the following on the console:

Jun 30 17:07:01 WARNING[-1275216976]: chan_sip.c:674 retrans_pkt: Maximum 
retries exceeded on call b7f4399f84ef781e at 192.168.1.108 for seqno 41080 
(Non-critical Response)


Does this sound like a bug?  Perhaps externip has a slightly different 
purpose?

Thanks
