You seem to be describing one of the models covered by the SIPForum in 
their SIPConnect specification. Is that what you mean?

 From the point of view of the registrar this seems similar to IMS 
implicit registration, except that the scale is much larger - there may 
be *very many* implicit registrations generated by this one explicit 
registration.

I find the case much less compelling than the IMS case.

IMO this is an abuse of REGISTER to a purpose for which it is not well 
suited.

Treating it as registration means that there is an *expectation* that 
the R-URI will be translated. That isn't really appropriate in this 
case. The registration doesn't specify the mapping anyway - it is 
configuration in the network of all the addresses that belong to the 
"pbx" that does that. This is more appropriately viewed as just a 
routing operation, and so pushing the address of the enterprise server 
as a Route header is by far the best choice. Its only because this has 
been done using REGISTER that brings up how to preserve the old address 
when it is translated.

	Thanks,
