[Serusers] NAT traversal of the BYE transaction

Hi all,

I am experiencing a problem related to the NAT traversal of the BYE transaction.
Some of my UAs are natted and I am using a mediaproxy (SER + mediaproxy module)
between such UAs and my SIP proxy (registar/location) in order to overcome the NAT problem.
Everything is working fine, but the Via field of the BYE transaction
seems to forget about the port number of the interface from which
the BYE was received.

As you can see from the following traces the Via field 
(Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 192.168.0.10:5060;received=213.92.1.143;branch=z9hG4bK-fdee73bb)
of the BYE sent by 213.92.1.178:5060 to 213.92.1.197:5060 doesn't report
the port number of the incoming interface (rport=1029).

The final result is that the answer (200 OK) is sent back to
the wrong port number (5060 instead of 1029).

Can you help me on this issue ?

Please consider that I am using the latest SER code from CVS 
(for all the proxy server on the network).

Thank you a lot in advance,
