Hans,

Guntram's comment is true in terms of the way H.323 talks about "transport
addresses".  However, in response to your first direct question, please note
that it is not mandatory for a gatekeeper to accept any particular
registration - that is up to some combination of implementation and
configuration.

Regards,
Chris
