[VoiceOps] acme nat traversal clue

[anorexicpoodle]

Acme HNT only applies when the endpoint is registered, does your PBX
register to the ITSP? If not you will need to find another way around
NAT on your end. Judging by what you are telling us with the invite
being sent to sip:xxxxxx at 1.1.1.1 it sounds like you arent registered and
instead it is a session agent configured in the SD to correspond to you.
If this is indeed the case you will need to find a way around this on
your end, As Alex suggested OpenSER + Media Proxy will work quite well,
though a smaller and easier solution might be buying something like an
Edgemarc from Edgewater networks for your end and put it in front of the
netscreen in a proxy-arp config, so the edgemarc will take ownership of
the WAN connection and provide a 100% working ALG. 

Hope this helps
