[Serusers] Duplicate SIP messages?

Hi Friends,

I am trying to learn ser and wrap my head around the routing logic. My 
first project is a simple outbound proxy to handle SIP/RTP from an 
SPA2000 behind a NAT. The ser server is on the public Internet, but I am 
having trouble making it work :( The spa2000 has been reset to default, 
and basically setup the same way that I'd set it up for FWD behind nat).

I am using an example config from the Internet as as starting point 
(included below) and running on Ser 0.8.14 on FreeBSD (from a port). I 
am using the RTP proxy from ser cvs. This , It almost works, and 
capturing the traffic with ethereal looks to be mostly correct, but I am 
seeing duplicate sip messages (plz excuse formatting), which I think is 
causing me a big problem (even if it isn't, I'd like to know why this is 
happening).

I didn't include frames 1 and 2, they are a SIP keepalive.

3 is the request from the spa2000 to the proxy
4 is the response from the proxy
5 is the request from the proxy to the itsp
6 is a dup!
And then the problem compounds as the itsp tries to connect the same 
call twice.

I would be very appreciative of any advice from you veterans ;-)

Thanks,
Tim

- 207.46.199.15 is the address of the NAT
