[OpenSER-Devel] A note about the new Mediaproxy application

[Dan Pascu]

Before starting the media relay component of MediaProxy, if iptables 
support is compiled as a module into your kernel, please make sure that 
the ip_tables kernel module is loaded. The included debian startup 
script makes sure of this, however if you make your own startup script 
for another distribution, or you manually start media-relay for testing, 
then you should be aware of this. It seems there is an issue with 
automatic loading of this module. I've seen a kernel completely freeze 
when mediaproxy attempted to use the iptables related functionality and 
the kernel should have attempted to autoload the module. Other required 
modules, both iptables and conntrack related are autoloaded just fine, 
but ip_tables is not.

I will consider a better approach for a future release.
