This proxy replaces the need for OpenSER built-in xml-rpc server, which has no access list and is prone to crash the server.
adrian,
we earlier had fifo_relay, which i didn't like at all because it introduced yet another single point of failure to the system. i therefore proposed to add access lists to current built-in xmlrpc server. if i remember correctly, this was not deemed necessary because one could use ip tables to limit access to the built-in server.
i don't remember seeing any bug reports on built-in xmlrpc server crashing openser. if there are some, i think it would be very important to get those bugs fixed so that an external xmlrpc proxy would not be needed.
