Hi<br>
<br>
I'm looking at SylkServer for a potential requirement.<br>
<br>
We actually using XMPP Server hosted internally for our IM and
Presence usage (eJabberd on Linux) and would like to federate with a
customers SIP-based solution (Microsoft OCS). So I'm considering
putting SylkServer to act as a gateway at the edge of our
environment for connection out to these customers.<br>
<br>
From my reading around SylkServer, I infer that this was mainly
developed for the SIP world to reach out to XMPP - however my
requirement is the other way round.<br>
<br>
So my questions are: <br>
<br>
- Can we use SylkServer (hosted our side) to act as a gateway to
external SIP servers? I note a point on the <a
href="http://sylkserver.com/download.phtml">installation
instructions</a>: "SylkServer must run on a public IP address
reachable directly by the SIP
clients. If SylkServer is installed behind NAT using a private IP
address, only
clients from the same LAN can make use of it.
"<br>
<br>
- Is this restriction just to allow support for local SIP Client
usage (which we wouldn't have directly - our local clients would be
XMPP) or will it affect external SIP server connection?<br>
<br>
- Do I also need a SIP Proxy Server? and would OpenSIP be a good
candidate for this? <br>
<br>
If there is any whitepaper or documentation which would fit my
requirement then please feel free to point me at it.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
