To steer a little ways back on topic, perhaps looking at the standards for how mobile phones deal with emergency services is better analogue for mobile IP phones than how POTS does things.

Install SRV records to the reverse zone to give you emergency, directory, etc. service numbers of the locality? Unless you are the rare beast with Mobile IP this would probably work alright in 99% of the cases. If you do NAT, you deserve your faith. Or ask your vendor to do an ALG for your outbound calls with telephone number remapping. Just don´t make me pay for it. Pete
