I don't understand what you mean ?!

In all docs I found, the blabla gatekeeper thing is inexistant. To call
an alias, you have to first register to the gatekeeper, then use the
alias to call the person. I think that it is the logical way to behave
for a gatekeeper.

It is blabla gateway  Don't confuse gatekeeper/gateway and ILS servers,
those are different things with different purposes.

That's what the FAQ says, no?
A gatekeeper is not a gateway.
