no, i don't have 100% working trick, but normal means cover 90+% of the
cases.  trying to avoid needless use of rtp proxy for the remainder is
not worth of the extreme complexity that comes with ice.

as i said in above, kamailio's nat tools work well enough so that the
added complexity of ice cannot be justified.

i don't understand what you try to say in above.  sip works fine over
the internet today.

i don't agree with you regarding the value statement and you are welcome
to try to implement ice.  i'm just saying that it provides too little
value for me taking into account its complexity and lack of
implementations in UAs.
