NAT behave - hairpinning

[Thomas Gelf]

Hi all,

I googled around for a some time to find information regarding "hairpin"
support for netfilter.

Reason: I don't like my public SIP Registrar / Proxy to redirect calls
between my local STUN-enabled and NATed SIP clients to an external RTP
Proxy (no, sip-conntrack-nat is not what I'm looking for).

The most recent hint relating this topic I've managed to find on Rusty's
bleeding edge page: http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/index.cgi/2005#2005-10-10

It would be great if someone could give me some additional information:
- is hairpinning meant to be supported in near-future official linux
   kernels?
- is it planned to provide such a patch on patch-o-matic?

Thanks a lot!

Kind regards,
Thomas Gelf
