Hi Glen,

good job with the testing!! thanks a lot.

first, just to be sure, the missing username is in the TO hdr as 
originally posted, right?

**Yes, you are correct I used the fU address and it should be the tU

the idea is to find a compromised between how correct the OPTIONS should 
be build and how efficient (in terms of speed and complexity).

In order to set the right username I will need to also get from the 
usrloc the AOR of the user. this involves changes and penalties in the 
usrloc interaction, thinks I'm trying to avoid.

**I not totally clear about the above. I think your are saying is that
rather than changing the info in the received field to contain
"sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:$sp" that natping would have to build the proper uri 
from the
info in locations table during each transaction and this would create a very
large performance hit. 

do you think that placing a static dummy username (if missing) into the 
TO will fix the problem?

**Well I am not sure. Is it possible to have a Registration packet without a
username in the To field?

regards,
bogdan
