Re: Polycom QDX 6000 and HDX 7000 / GnuGK as Proxy???

Hi,

in theory, you can use port forwarding on a number of port ranges to
send incoming calls from the firewall to GnuGk, but thats a very trick
configuration and I wouldn't recommend using that.

Putting a server in front of the firewall is how most commercial
products do it (if you ignore those that install full firewall
bypasses, eg. Polycom VBPs). In my view thats the most secure option,
because your firewall remains closed.

Jan

Is this possible and how does it work? Currently we can receive calls via ISDN and IP on one of the systems. We would like to use this systems IP, as it has a NAT on the firewall and all the required ports for videoconferencing are already opened, for the GnuGK machine. But we wonder how we can receive calls via IP on both Polycoms if there is only one NATed IP address. Is there some sort of Name-based routing like in Apache virtual hosts? And maybe there is an example configuration? Currently we can register one of the Polycoms just fine with GnuGK but we can't call any outside IPs. I have not yet been able to test an internal IP call as the other Polycom system was not available at that time.
