</div>That should not be a problem, I don't know your requirements so can't<br>
provide a full answer.<br>

<br>
</div>This can be done and is called hairpinning.<br>

<br>
</div>Yes, you would be bridging the two legs like any normal call. Instead of<br>
going to an endpoint you're going back out over the PSTN.<br>

<br>
</div>That would depend on your provider but most likely yes. As for<br>
terminating one end after validation that is not going to happen. A leg<br>
terminates to you on an agreed fee schedule. No carrier that I know of<br>
supports that. Now if you kept everything SIP... you could do a transfer<br>
after the validation.<br>
