allow_trusted I already use, just wanted to know which is better, or is it just personal preference here. If either is used and looking by the acc table billing could still be pulled even thought no username/password..any inputs here.

Have you looked at allow_trusted() in (I believe) the domain module. In fact, when I come to think of it, maybe the functions are undocumented. I'm on GPRS right now, but I'll check when I get back over the weekend. You populate the trusted table and use allow_trusted() before auth of INVITE's (and probably assume that you don't get REGISTERs). There is also a FIFO command to reload the trusted table. I guess it's feasible to use REGISTER to store a new IP after a successful auth and then use IP for INVITE's. Ref. an earlier discussion, using IP for UDP is not really good security-wise, you should use TCP. g-)

Hi
If I use avpops for IP based auth, and drop the normal username/password combo aside from spoofing what is the downside if any. Also if I do IP based auth, can I auth once, and be done with it, or is it auth once per call, I guess its once per call, if so is there any way to bypass auth completely for a particular IP address, again I am assuming no, since the IP will still need to be checked for each request.
