ReSent: reSIProcate as a border server - does it fit for the task?


Hello 2all,

I've got a task on hand to solve and want to ask community if reSIProcate  would fit my needs.

What I've got here is a company's internal software PBX with endpoints connected to it via SIP and IAX2 protocols. All endpoints reside in the internal corporate subnet, there's no NAT between them and PBX. At least it was like this up to now :-). What I'm being tasked to is to provide SIP access to this PBX for so-called "road warriors" - people with Android and iOS phones roaming out there in the wild. As corporate network is a semi-complicated one (multiple segments, several offices connected via VPNs, OSPF, e.t.c., e.t.c.) I don't want to make it more complicated by constructing weird D-NAT towards PBX especially keeping in mind that SIP is a nighmare protocol w.r.t. NAT traversal.

What I've been thinking of is to install reSIPro onto the border gateway server so it could act as a SIP proxy listening on the public IPv4 address and forwarding SIP traffic to the internal PBX server. As far as I understand reSIPro might be used for this but I'm a little bit lost concerning what is the correct way to set it up. Could anybody provide me with a clue on how to configure this?

Thanks in advance.
