[Asterisk-Users] A solution for SIP and NAT

[John Todd]

Yes, I have one location where there are a dozen or so behind the 
same NAT.  Things work fine for inbound and outbound.  I'm sure there 
is a theoretical limit based on what an 8 or 16 bit integer can hold, 
but I'm not worried about hitting that problem any time soon.
