We are using the example cfg from the cookbook for nathelper.
It explicitly says it is only useful for symmetric UAs.
Is there any mod to that config that will allow asymmetric UAs to also work? The goal here is to Do The Right Thing no matter what the users throw at us.

impossible -- if clients are totally NAT ignorant, there is no help to them. Minimum requirement is they are symmetric, which is fullfilled by most existing implementations today (I was told one vendor did not do it till now). Ideally, they do better than that and support rport, STUN, and are genereally well implemented.
