Very elegant solution!

(Note: The internal IP addresses are all unedited, but the public IPs have been replaced with TEST-NET-1 and TEST-NET-2 example addresses.) I will eventually be doing transcoding with RTPEngine, but for now this is a simple SIP Proxy.

>> I have internal SIP servers with private IP addresses in the 172.31.7.0/24 <http://172.31.7.0/24> range that I want to have send all SIP traffic through the Kamailio server. The internal servers are running a Java SIP client with the `OUTBOUND_PROXY` setting set to 172.31.7.96.
>>

The SIP client therefore tries to send the `ACK` message back to the public address, but it has no route to the public address so the ACK never gets sent.
