[asterisk-users] sip forking needed for ekiga 3.0

So, I have been testing ekiga 3.0 with Asterisk, and sadly, it don't
work.  I am told by the ekiga devs in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553595 and
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553810 that the problem is
that Asterisk does not support SIP forking.

The issue is that I have multiple addresses on my workstation:

2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
    link/ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.75.22.1/24 brd 10.75.22.255 scope global eth0
    inet 10.75.22.101/24 brd 10.75.22.255 scope global secondary eth0:1

So when ekiga (3.0) tries to place a call through Asterisk it in fact
does parallel requests from all addresses.  This is what appears to
confuse Asterisk.  Please see the above tickets for more details.

Thots?
