Today all four proxies are supplying the correct "Connection Information" IP address (RTP address). Below are results from my tests done on 2009-06-02 and 2009-06-08 (today).
Code:
                         2009-06-02     2009-06-08
     SERVER              RTP address    RTP address
proxy01.us1.voxalot.com  64.34.163.35   64.34.163.35
proxy02.us1.voxalot.com  my_public_ip   64.34.173.199
proxy01.eu1.voxalot.com  85.17.19.194   85.17.19.194
proxy01.au1.voxalot.com  202.60.88.238  202.60.88.238
I don't have a symmetric NAT router available for testing, but I suspect that a user receiving a call behind a symmetric NAT router will not hear audio if his SIP device is configured with the usual NAT settings. This is because the SIP device configured with NAT settings will learn its public IP address during the registration process and will use its public IP address in the "Contact" line. The Voxalot proxy, on seeing the correct public IP address in the "Contact" line, will disable its RTP proxy function for that call and give the callee's public IP address to the caller in "Connection Information". If this is in fact what happens, users behind symmetric NAT can avoid the problem by configuring their devices as if for use on a public IP address. Specifically, set "NAT Mapping Enable:" = no. Because this is counter-intuitive many users may need to be told how to handle symmetric NAT.
