Andrew, Thanks, for the response. That is a very clean solution and much less work/complication, however, I am not sure that the security guy for this network will allow me to put up the asterisk box dual homed to the public IP and the LAN. If there is not another feasible way then I may end up going with this anyway. Any other feasible ways to accomplish this?
Sorry for the top post... Having to use Outlook for the moment.

I assume there is one NAT router for the LAN and nothing fancy, so setup the Asterisk machine on the router/firewall (or make it such) and have it listen on both LAN and WAN interface. Now use a hostname for the SIP server, and run a DHCP/DNS server that will resolve that hostname to the LAN IP address of your router, when it is queried from the LAN side, when from the WAN side it would just be the regular lookup (use FQDN). Now phones will work from anywhere, no NAT issues to deal with at all. Each interface that asterisk runs on is isolated from the other. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
