There is no such 8.11 iptel config file available.

I hope that's easy to explain. We deny requests with private-IP addresses
in their contact header field. Such requests can't be followed up by
subsequent requests -- private IP addresses maky subsequent conversation
non-routable. We better deny and tell you it would break rather than
let it break later.

We except cases in which record-route was applied as we assume that
record-routing is used in a smart way to get subsequent requests over 
NATs.

That's exactly the point.
