This is when the sip message was sent from a.b.c.d and the Via header
has x.y.z.w. if you get a pcap with the request, we can check and see if
the test is true for it.

On the other hand, you should use
set_contact_alias()/handle_ruri_alias() instead of fix_nated_contact()
(see how default kamailio.cfg does it) -- it is safer for such cases and
avoids getting in troubles with devices that are strict in checking if
the r-uri is the contact they set previously.

Cheers,
Daniel
