[Serusers] Ser+RTPproxy+Asterisk

A brief inspection suggests the config file is designed for a situation
where ser is outside the firewall (on "real IPs") and the UA is
inside the firewall.

It is getting confused at the start of route[1] because it sees the
next hop as inside the firewall (using a hueristic test based on IPs).
This is because it seems that ser itself is on RFC1918 space in you
configuration (from the alias line in your config), and the config
seems to be designed for a situation where asterisk and ser are
not in RFC1918 space.

If ser is the same side of the firewall as asterisk and the UA, you should
not need rtpproxy.

If ser and the UA are one side, and asterisk is the other, you are
probably better using the NAT tranversal stuff in asterisk.

If what you are trying to do is:

      NAT1          NAT2
UA ----|-----SER-----|----Asterisk

or
      NAT1                   NAT2
UA-----|----SER, Asterisk ----|---- Internet

then the block at the top of route[1] is being triggered falsely,
and you are probably safe deleting it.

You will need to supply a network diagram for more help.
