[cisco-voip] Deploying 7961 Phones Remotely with ASA5500?

Hmm, I'm going to need a little more convincing on this one.

phone1----------homerouter-----------ASA--(typical enterprise with 
cm)--phone2
10.10.11.2   10.10.11.1 10.10.10.76 
*homerouter doubles as a firewall as is common

In the ORCAck that leaves phone1 offers to receive audio on 10.10.11.2 
port 33333.
homerouter is blissfully unaware of SCCP so passes the IP datagram along 
after rewriting IP headers for the 10.10.10.76 network
this gets through ASA with any translation it does, then on to CM, then 
on to phone2.

phone2 begins to transmit audio.  Audio goes to the IP:Port fixed up by 
ASA.  ASA rewrites IP and UDP and passes along back toward home router.

Now comes the challenge.  homerouter never knew it should listen on port 
33333.  It would have to be SCCP aware to do that.  It would have to be 
SCCP aware to rewrite that to any other port number.

So the audio via RTP/UDP/IP is back to the "outside" interface of 
homerouter, but how does it get through to phone1?
