You can use different IP addresses or ports. I do this all of the time.<br>
<br>
I question why you are using OpenSER (OpenSIPS?) as a SBC. FreeSWITCH<br>
is actually more well suited to most of the functions served by<br>
something called* a "session border controller".<br>
<br>
For example, FreeSWITCH in bypass media mode is a signaling only SBC<br>
where you can (cleanly) do the header rewriting, number formatting,<br>
and SIP topology hiding typically done by a SBC without touching the<br>
media. Proxy media mode can do the same while proxying media<br>
(traversing NAT and hiding real RTP addresses). FreeSWITCH in normal<br>
bridging mode can transcode, convert between different types of DTMF<br>
and do everything else mentioned above.<br>
<br>
OpenSER as a proxy can't even (per RFC3261) rewrite To or From, nor<br>
will it hide topology (it simple adds Record-Route/Via).<br>
<br>
* Session borders controllers are very ill-defined and mean different<br>
things to different people.<br>
