Most of SERs features are implemented as modules, but i guess Ole meant, that 
sending REGISTERs is a feature which belongs to endpoints and not to a proxy 
which is not able to place or answer calls. And i agree with that.
(For the implemenation of such a feature: hwo to you want to manage all the 
passwords, accounts, etc. at the server.. sounds horrible to me.)

A little analogy: would you tell you SMTP server how it can fetch the mail 
from you several mail accounts? I guess not.
Either you use a MAU which can handle several accounts. Or you use 
forwardings, to collect all your mails at one central account.

=> Either use SIP clients which can handle several accounts, or forward you 
other accounts (by inserting persistent contacts to your central account) to 
one central account. (And please dont blame us, if you use accounts at 
servers which can not forward your account :-)
