[SR-Users] Kamailio as a front-end proxy

You have several options:

1. If your SIP server supports an "outbound proxy" configuration, set that
parameter to the IP:port of Kamailio, then it will send all INVITEs to
Kamailio. You will need to configure RR and you might still need some
mangling in Kamailio to work around NAT, depending on your SIP client run
by Alice and Bob.

2. If you can't set outbound proxy then you could use Kamailio to edit the
contact header.  Again you will need to configure RR and you might still
need some mangling in Kamailio to work around NAT, depending on your SIP
client run by Alice and Bob.

3. Only if you have multiple Kamailio proxies sharing one SIP server and
the SIP server supports RFC3327 (i.e. the Path header) then you could could
try get this to work with the Kamailio path module. This is the most
difficult approach and the least likely to work in my opinion.

So if you can choose an option then we can try to help you with that.

Regards,
Richard
