I'm not complaining - This is some complex code and it could be very hard for those closest to it to 
document it. (Hard to see the forest for all the trees in the way).


The bit that I can't figure out is what controls the two cases of NAT helpers (server end vs client 
behind NAT ).

I could be that I should turn all the NAT stuff off - most of the SIP clients can do stun or other 
tricks to get past NAT. If I could just get some of the FS terms defined and know if using the nat 
parameters turns any of this on or off, I could even write it up.

I've been searching the mailing list with:

but I'm not making much progress.
