FW: RRQ Registration in H.323 V2

Chris,

H.323 V2 specifically says that each alias address should
map to a unique transport address. So, as you pointed out
my second RRQ would get rejected because alias is the
same "voip-gw.hotmail.com" but a different transport
address is registered :-(

So, the only option left for me is to choose some dummy
alias in my RRQs.

Section 7.2.2 H.323V2
"A Gateway or MCU may register a single Transport address or
multiple transport addresses. The use of multiple transport
addresses may simplify the routing of calls to specific ports"

How can a _single_ gateway achieve the above stated. (Because
what I am doing by sending multiple RRQs with different aliases
is essentially simulating multiple logical gateways in the network.)

Btw, one another related question. What is the meaning of
multiple callSignalAddresses of _same_ transport type in
RRQ.callSignalAddress. Is this possible and if possible how will
the gatekeeper use them? I have a private mail from one vendor that
multiple callSignalAddresses of the same transport type are
possible in RRQ but no one uses them. I think I have to
agree with him.

Thanks for your time.
-Chris.
