Yes I am using a 172.16.x.x IP and it works, it rewrites the headers, but again
because 172.16.x.x is also a private IP
it is the same as using my real 10.x.x.x IP. The carrier's ACK throws away the
local IP and sends the response to my
209.x external IP.

I found a sample config file using topoh, which I copied (with some changes) and
added the topoh module to my
config.
It works fine, but it does not solve the
problem.
In fact it has the exact same problem, because all the topoh module does is replace
one private IP with
another in the
2nd (top most) Record-Route header.
So the carrier still changes the ACK to the public IP and the call is still broken in
the exact same way.
It was super easy to add, but does not work, 1 possible solution down.
