Here is where the problem usually occurs. Most of the UA I have seen 
relies on IP address to fulfill this requirement, but this fails in the 
case of private addresses. Usually, the call id is in the form of 
"some_hash at ip".

According to RFC, what really identifies the call is call-id, from-tag 
and to-tag, so in my opinion is better to use all of them. If you 
control the type of user agents in your network, then you can do a lot 
of optimization everywhere, in an open environment you have to be 
prepared for the worst (btw: I am not at all voip service 
provider/itsp). Just for example, the person implementing serweb chose 
the same approach, to check the tags when getting cdrs, too.
