You're in the same boat as I am. I'm already on OpenBSD, and
kludging the NAT workarounds really is uncomfortable using Linux as a
host for running only stund.
Of course, I'd really just like Cisco's NAT re-writing to
automatically work, since all I'm using are Cisco UA's (ATA-186.)
They claim that if the server can send "received=" in the Via
headers, their systems will automatically forget and re-write the
request with the 'correct' IP address, however in practice I have not
been able to make that work, and I have heard of nobody who is more
clueful than I am being able to make it work, either. (see the
"Receiver-tagged VIA header" section in the document
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/ata/atarn/186rn214.htm#xtocid17
- note that this is for release 2.14, and I'm running 2.15, but I
would be surprised if they removed functionality.)
I am very interested in Maxim's port of stund to FreeBSD, though. I
could not get it working using the stund I found on Vovida's page
(http://www.vovida.org/downloads/stun/stund_0.7.tgz) and the patch
failed. Patching by hand did not solve the makefile problems.
Before I invest any more time: is this the right source to be
patching against?
