asterisk users - Oct 2010 - Chan variables for peer

Hi all,

I used to configure each of my sip clients with a unique identifier via 
setvar.  These clients were all configured as "friends."

However, now that I've got some Polycom phones, which MUST be
"peers," I am
unable to define this variable.

For example, this works:

[friend-client]
context = default
accountcode = pcc
type = friend
username = username
secret = ya,right
host = dynamic
nat = yes
canreinvite = no
callerid = User <155512345>
mailbox = 155512345 at customers,123456
setvar = id=123

However, if I change the type to "peer," I am unable to get a value
for ${id}.

Is this a known limitation, or am I doing something wrong?  If this won't 
work, is there a work-around?

#1 check the bug tracker 
#2 you might have to change the syntax - it seems to me that setvar=id=123
is an accident waiting to happen (or maybe it did.) setvar=>id=123 or setvar
= "id=123" might be more appropriate.

Thank you.  I should be able to get it working from here.
