So what happens if one endpoint has multiple AOR's which are registered from different ip addresses. And you Dial() that endpoint, will PJSIP send invites to all the ip addresses? Is there any practical use for such a setup? Also I notice, an AOR does seem do be directly correlated with an auth record, so why are they separate in the configuration, why not unify the aor and the auth objects? And, while I'm at it, in the realtime tables, the length of ps_endpoints.aors = 200, and the length of ps_endpoints.auths = 40. This suggests there are scenarios where there are aors, without corresponding auth. Can you mix dynamic and static AORs within one endpoint, and would there be a use case for that?
