yes, but only in in-dialog requests.
In my setups currently I do the NAT decision in first request processing
and store the result in a RR-cookie. in-dialog NAT handling is purely
done on RR-cookie. RR-cookie defines if NAT handling is done for caller,
callee or both.
Regarding NAT-detection my decision algorithm is simple and pragmatic:
if request comes from a local account (is_from_local()), then the caller
will be marked for NAT traversal (regardless if behind NAT or not.
Further, target will be analysed and calls to local users will be
NAT-handled.
