You are correct. Our typical scenario is that we have a school with perhaps 5 or more Polycom endpoints. I would like to have them register with a local GnuGK which would be setup on a box with separate LAN and WAN interfaces. (I don't want to allow any registrations from the WAN interface.) Now there is a statewide gatekeeper (running GnuGK 2.2.2, BTW) which we would need our local GK to "neighbor" with in order to complete calls with other schools. In your steps below, I wonder if there would be firewall issues with #4 if terminal A & B attempt to talk to each other directly. Wouldn't terminal A's school firewall prevent the exchange? Also, how would terminal B even know how to contact terminal A since A has a private IP?
