As long as you have RTPProxy listening on two IPs, you have it set in 
bridge mode. It doesn't matther whether one of them is IPv6, or both are.

Yes, as stated above, RTPProxy is in bridged mode and you should avoid 
using engage_rtpproxy(). That's because the function can't know/decide 
which interface is which and cannot map with the RTPProxy's one.

No, you don't need an extra instance - a single instance will do both 
bridging and nat traversal.

The multihome parameter is only relevant for OpenSIPS, it doesn't 
influence RTPProxy's behavior at all.
