Your biggest issue, bar none, is using the loopback
address for
anything externally-facing. 127.0.0.1 is called a loopback address for
a reason -- it never leaves the host itself. Just how do you expect
the SIP phones to be able to contact a 127.0.0.1 address when that
address is, in essence, themselves?
There's something inherently flawed in your design.
Let's back up and explain, in detail, what it is exactly you're trying
to do, and why you feel the 127.0.0.1 address should be part of this
equation? Perhaps we can suggest something if we know what you're
trying to do.
There's a very simple reason. Asterisk and SER are on the same
machine. So the traffic from SER to asterisk doesn't need to leave the
box. This is why I'm using the loopback interface - there's no need to
use the real world one.
