The server, with a public IP address and no firewall, is a bad BAD idea. I wouldn't do that, no matter who I was. The sipXecs server will not be behind NAT, but it WILL be behind a firewall (see below.) Todd Hodgen Wrote: If the Server is on a Public Address, and the phones are on NAT addresses, how would they get to server without going through a router to get onto the same network as the server? That is where your Nat will come in - traversing the router. Seems the Server would need to know they are NAT, as it will be NAT coming to the server. You don't necessarily need NAT to allow a host with a public IP address to communicate with a host that has a private address. +----------+ | Internet | +----------+ | Firewall (Filtering and Stateful Packet Inspection - No NAT) | +---DMZ----+ | sipXecs | (Public IP Address) | Server | +----------+ | Router (If the phones don't require Internet access, then NAT is not required here. | The sipXecs server will simply have a static route to the Phone Subnet) | +-Phone Subnet-+ | Phones | (Private IP Addresses) +--------------+ Mike Burden Lynk Systems, Inc e-mail: m...@lynk.com Phone: 616-532-4985
