Thanks for pointing this out. I haven't noticed this in my own experiments
with verbose output. This was version 1.0.1 AFAICR, have you added this
in a later version?

(I admit, I haven't looked at the relevant code, so just guessing here.)
Do you need the interface facing the public internet for something else
then guessing the IP to put into the SIP request? What happens in an
environment where this host is not reachable? Ie. private LAN without
connection to the internet, no default route etc...

Wouldn't make much of a difference, I guess.
