[SR-Users] Issue using Kamailio as a proxy in front of Asterisk

[Dominik Mauritz]

I have already tried that. I defined SIP-Accounts in Asterisk with host=<Kamailio-IP> (instead of host=dynamic). This solves the described problem but it also has side effects:

- You don't have the correct presence status on your phone (e. g. xlite) indicating wether the account is online or offline
- Asterisk always sends invites to Kamailio on incoming calls even if there is no phone registered to the account

These are not the worst things in the world, but it is maybe not the best solution possible.

But if one phone unregisters Kamailio forwards the unregister request to Asterisk and Asterisk sets this account to offline. Now a call comes in but Asterisk is not sending out an invite because for Asterisk the phone is offline.
