[Users] OpenSER as load balancer for several Asterisk servers

Hi,

is it correct that in the second Via Header of the message from Asterisk 
to OpenSER there is the address of the Client?
there should be the address of Asterisk no?
maybe this make OpenSER think that the message is coming from a NAT...
i'm not sure, maybe i'm wrong...
try to set:

modparam("nathelper", "rtpproxy_disable", 1)


regards,
Stefano
