I am about to start a program that will be generaging sip device configurations for sip.conf. My current sip.conf contains friend entries for each SIP device connected to asterisk.
Should I even be attempting to split these in to seperate user/peer devices?
Can two entries with the same name exist at the same time, if one is a friend and the other is a user? Mainly, I'm asking, are the results here undefined, or is this a recognized use?A type=friend is loaded in Asterisk chan_sip as one peer and one user with identical names. You can not define a type=friend *and* type=user
with the same name, since you will end up with two users with the same name.

For local phones, type=friend works fine most of the time. When you connect to something else, a SIP service or a phone that is connected to a SIP proxy, type=friend is propably something that gives you headache, because you need to separate configuration for incoming calls and outbound calls.
