 	Not exactly sure how dundi would solve this issue.  How does a 
softphone configured to connect to sitea.asterisk.server connect to 
siteb.asterisk.server automagically when it's at siteb?  We can't just 
configure the softphones to connect to "asterisk" because they also need to 
work when the softphone is simply out in the world not at any site.

 	In the end, the system we have works quite well and we're not really 
interested in the complexity of moving to dundi unless there's no other way or 
a very compelling reason to do so.  (Glad it works well for you though)

 	The NAT issue is a serious one for us that really does seem to be an 
oversight in the design/implementation of IAX2.  Surely there's a way to tell 
asterisk to use an ephemeral source port for its outbound IAX2 connections...
