[Freeswitch-users] Phones registered to internal profile hit external profile when calling

Anthony and Donny, thanks for replying.

Putting a packet capture on the line revealed the problem to be a 
combination of quirks in both linphone (windows version ignores fs 
nonstandard destination port) and dns-forwarder (override of foo.bar.com 
fails if foo.bar.com is a cname on the public internet, not an A 
record).  The call was coming in on the external profile because the dns 
forwarder was letting the resolution go to the public internet and so 
the local systems were sending out to the router, which sent it back in 
to... the external interface.   However, I do now know how to watch 
calls pass through freeswitch and have read most of the source code in 
the sofia endpoint, nta, nua, etc.  etc... and had lots of fun with gdb 
stepping around watching the packets flow.

The main lession I think is worth sharing is this:   Use 5060 for sip.  
If you are thinking of various profiles using the same address but 
different ports on the one hand, or on the other hand using ip aliases 
so each profile uses the 'standard' ports but a different ip--- go with 
the ip alias approach.    So in /etc/network/interfaces , supposing your 
main nic is eth0:

iface eth0 inet dhcp   <-- or whatnot on your system>
  ..
   post-up ifup eth0:1
   pre-down ifdown eth0:1
..


iface eth0:1 inet static
     address <something unique on the lan>
     netmask <etc.>

Problems all melted away as if they never were.

Thanks again for trying to help!   I even bought the freeswitch book.  
Ka-Ching for someone on this list...
