[Users] OpenSER and Asterisk

[Ray Van Dolson]

Barry, I'm curious if you'll find a solution for this.

Currently I'm using SER with Asterisk and I am just straight proxying
everything through to Asterisk.  Registrations in this case work just fine,
but the voice path seems to always include Asterisk with this setup :(

What happens when Asterisk sends an Unauthorized (4xx) response after one of
your ATA's sends an INVITE and it gets proxied through to Asterisk?  Maybe
you could get OpenSER to trigger on this and then the next REGISTER it
receives from the same ATA gets proxied on to Asterisk instead of being
processed locally.

Just thinking out loud.
