1) The midcomRuleEntry has only a single interface identifier
(midcomRuleInterface). It needs to identify the inside interface and the
outside interface. The corresponding interface can only be inferred when the
middlebox has 2 or fewer interfaces. The semantics document includes both an
inside and an outside interface.

2) Step 3 of the PRR (section 6.4) states that the SNMP manager sets the
internal endpoint address components. This is correct if the signaling
(going thru the MIDCOM client) is outbound. If the signaling is inbound, it
contains the external endpoint addresses.
