Hello,

maybe permissions is a better option to check ip addresses against a cached list. It offers also the possibility to group addresses, so you can have one group for this specific purposes and use allow_address("1", "$fd", "0"), provided that you grouped the addresses to id 1.

Hello,

basically i was intending to use is_from_local() function to dynamically
(just add domain and reload) detect direction if user calling via given
proxy should be handled as local user. Something like much faster
version than doing check_from() function. This way i don't have to
hardcode-in external (PSTN) IPs and compare against those. In general,
the need to store remote IPs came up only because there are still some
old equipment which is not able to set domain in from header (such as
old cisco equipment).

best regards,

Hello,

after troubleshooting ACK routing loops i came up with a thread:
http://www.openser.org/pipermail/users/2009-March/004123.html

In short, loops formed when i entered IP address to 'domain' table of a
host which was remote.
Call flow:

UAC INVITE ->  Kamailio (with remote domain entered) ->  UAS (host whose
IP matches that remote domain)

It looks like after loose_route() check ACK to 200 OK gets routed to
local host. Besides this issue, IP address of remote host in 'domain'
table did no harm at all.

Question is, is that normal ACK routing behaviour or loose_route()
should still check if given IP in request is really bound to local
interface?
domain module as well as aliases are ways of setting local domains
even if they don't exist in DNS. Therefore practically you can have
addresses like u...@domainx.abc and domainx.abc not really existing.
Thus, it is no intention of checking records in domain against dns and
local network addresses.

When you add a domain to domain table, kamailio (via config file),
will consider it as being for local routing.

Domain module documentation states that "A “local” domain is one that
the proxy is responsible for", but id does not tell you that you cannot
set remote IP address as a local domain.
Well, when there is a foreign IP either there is a SIP application
handling requests for it and you should let kamailio forward to it by
not adding it to domain table, or there is no sip application and then
kamailio will handle the requests locally since it is in the domain
table.

Personally, I see no reason of why adding a remote IP to domain table,
can you give some examples where it would be useful?

Cheers,
Daniel
