My customer is keen on using a hardware bridge to maximize throughput 
and also allow multiple servers.  My boss is pressing me to maintain 
Kamailio and rtpproxy compatibility, and understand the tradeoffs in 
satisfying both.  The link below has a diagram showing the way I'm going 
now:

Will the bridge preclude me from gracefully modifying my code to use 
more Kamailio functionality, if needed?

Thanks and Regards,
Vikram.
