Thanks Jim and all who responded off-list. This wasn't as clear to me lastnight, I thought this might work with what you have suggested, but wasn't sure. It makes sense for me to move the port for the app_rpt box. <br>
<br>My other method involved massaging a custom SRV record or writing a very large (and kludgey) set of IPTABLES rules to shift packets around based on address, yep another famous "making it harder than it needs to be" for me :D<br>
<br>lol thanks all and 73.....<br> <br>I'm gonna make my changes now and I'll let you know if it doesn't propagate to the network. <br><br>Stephen <br>K1LNX<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 28, 2009 at 6:18 AM, Jim Duuuude <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:telesistant@hotmail.com">telesistant@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Most certainly!<br><br>Set the app_rpt box up so that the default IAX2 port is something other then 4569, like<br>4568, for example. This needs to be done in the iax.conf (bindport) and static references<br>to the nodes in rpt.conf (ipaddr:4568). And, of course, forward the public address 4568<br>
to the NAT address for the app_rpt machine. If there is a problem with the router<br>deciminiating this port info when registering, let us know, and we can override the port<br>number for you.<br><br>Use port 4569 for the phone box as normal.<br>

<br>Subject: [App_rpt-users] Slightly OT: Help with IAX2 protocol/NAT<br><br></div><div><div></div><div class="h5">I have a problem that I need help with, and google is not being very useful at the moment (or I'm feeding it the wrong query, which is probably the case). <br>
<br>I have two Asterisk boxes, both sitting behind a single NAT'ed public IP address. I have IAX2 traffic from Allstar pointing to the app_rpt box, and SIP traffic pointing to the other box which is acting as my home phone system. I keep both systems separate for various reasons, so running this all on one installation was not an option, hence the two separate boxes :)<br>
<br>I want to take advantage of the IAX2 protocol for the box running my home phone system outside of my LAN, but the problem is as I only have a single IP address UDP port 4569 is already pointing to the app_rpt box. <br>
<br>I have been shifting a few ideas around in my head, none of which I think will be easy to implement, or even guaranteed to work with my desired results. It's entirely possible that I may be trying to re-invent the wheel, but as I know there is much talent on this list concerning Asterisk maybe someone already has a solution for this :D<br>
<br>Please reply to me off-list if you can/are willing to offer me some help or maybe even a clue ;)<br><br>73 and tnx<br>Stephen <br>K1LNX<br><br>-- <br>**********************************<br>Stephen Brown - ARS K1LNX<br>
