Many people on this list will advise you to use a SIP proxy like OpenSER in front of Asterisk to take care of SIP registrations - I'll do the same. ;-> > Before the release of 1.6 i heard that its architecture is going to be > different from 1.2 and 1.4.

Looks like you've just decided to move to FreeSwitch ;-> While "early testing" shows that 1.6 can increase SIP performance compared to 1.4 up to factor 3-4, this release is by no means a from-the-ground-up re-write like FreeSwitch.
