Re: [Partysip-dev] how to configure iptables on partysip firewall, using messenger as client

[Aymeric Moizard]

Sorry, partysip is not firewall freindly at this step. You
can only use it to manage a set of users either on a local
network or on the public internet, but not on both!

Hope you can live without it for some monthes. The NAT
specification for SIP is nearly out but I'll wait for it
to become a rfc before thinking about implementing it.
