olivier,
soft phones on a PC require a port to connect to the server... haven't tried multiple soft phones, simultaneously, connecting to one server or multiple servers but if you can configure the outgoing port, it should be possible... NAT might get quite confusing so I would try it before making any commitments.. as for hard phones, I register my sip phones with two or three servers, one server per extension or two+ extensions with one server... one or more extensions to one server... if you have 3 extensions you can register those to 1-3 servers as you wish...

Hello,

1. Is it possible to install several SIP softphones on the same PC, have them registered to the same Asterisk server and attribute to each softphone a specific extension, ringtones or call forwarding rules ?

If this is for testing purposes, yes. You can, for example, run multiple VM's to run several soft phones. Some soft phones does not check running status, so it is possible to run several on different virtual IP interfaces (assuming you already know how to set up virtual interfaces), in addition to running them on different ports as daveC mentioned. Of course it's possible to run different soft phones on different virtual interfaces.

2. Is possible to do the same with SIP hardphones ?

This is a totally different question, and daveC gave the answer. If the only purpose is to have different personalities, some soft phones can have multiple personalities as well so you don't have to run multiple soft phones.
