It would be greatly appreciated :) It is low priority for the Asterisk
project, as there are always workarounds.

I've just looked into this a bit, and I don't see how using connect() would actually solve the problem. If we receive a UDP datagram from a SIP endpoint, we could use socket() and connect() to create a socket specifically for sending to (and receiving from) that endpoint in the future, but we can't specify the source address to be used by that socket. The only way I know of to specify the source address for outbound packets is to use a raw socket and compose the IP header ourselves, which would be overkill.

Benny, are you aware of some other method to accomplish this?
