I'm not going to try and fix all of this, but if you've got
the same hostname on both hosts, one of them doesn't know
about the other.  You need to set the host differently on
each of the hosts.  Ie, on 192.168.1.1, you need to set
"host=192.168.1.2" and on 192.168.1.2, you need to set
"host=192.168.1.1".

You'll need to have a "trusted" context in each, for
starters.  But there's a lot more dialplan work you'll need
to do, depending on where your outbound lines are, what
numbers they can dial without incurring toll charges, etc.
