[Asterisk-Users] realtime & nat

[Matthew Boehm]

Good lord people. You claim that you all read the Wiki, but you're not
reading ENOUGH!

READ AGAIN!! RealTime DOES NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH NAT!!!!!!

Let me rephrase that to something a little simpler:

    NAT WORKS WITH REALTIME!!
    MWI WORKS WITH REALTIME!!
    QUALIFY WORKS WITH REALTIME!!

Geez..beating a dead horse. Its plain jane, black and white written for you
on the wiki!

Do I need to quote the wiki? Seems I do:
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+RealTime+Sip

"NOTE: As of CVS-HEAD 3/16/05, if you enable RealTime caching in your
sip.conf, Voicemail MWI works and so does 'sip show peers'."

Geez..
