But isn't it true that the media relay is also used by the proxy for NAT
traversal?  

Assume a 2 system HA configuration with no sipXbridge (using either some
other SBC or gateways for PSTN connections), but _with_ the new proxy
NAT traversal support.  Is there any reason why each of the 2 proxies
should not have its own co-resident media relay (presumably each media
relay instance would have its own allocated port range at the NAT)?

If you then have such a configuration, and you add a sipXbridge, it
could (with no changes from what we have now) only share the media relay
with one of the two proxies, but both proxies could route calls through
it, correct?

I would think that the above would argue for separating the media relay
configuration and process management from that of sipXbridge.  The 4.0
sipXsupervisor has a mechanism to configure process dependencies, so it
can take care of not starting a proxy or a bridge that depends upon a
media relay until after it is up if that is needed.
