Hi Reda

A bit late for a reply but I found your post recently and it helped me
to solve a similar problem, so I wanted to share one possible
solution.

One way to get around this is to populate the RR with a hostname
instead of an address. Then you can configure it so that the external
clients resolve public_ip but the Kamailio server itself resolves
private_ip. This can be done through an entry in /etc/hosts to
override the public DNS entry.

Not exactly elegant but it works for me.
