Hello Richard,

thank you for the reply. My comments are below between the lines.

*A: When you say here, edit the contact header. Do you mean that Kamailio
has to replace the IP/host by its ip/host ? For example if the caller has
the following contact 1001 at 192.168.0.0.1 and  Kamailio has a
public_IP_Kamailio, than the replacement should result as
1001 at public_IP_Kamailio ?*

*At his stage of my work, Kamailio is configured and has the ability to
detect that the caller is NATed. For the moment when Kamailio detects this
situation, it changes the contact header of the caller by replacing his
local ip by the public ip of caller's network.*

3. Only if you have multiple Kamailio proxies sharing one SIP server and

*A: At the moment I am not very sure but I think that my sip server does
not implement the Path header.*
