Sure you could. Asterisk doesn't care as long as the remote destination is accessible via IP, and the path/tunnel (regardless of what its built on or with) has sufficient bandwidth to handle the traffic. >From the sound of the questions, NATing and plain old IP routing are probably some topics to review in general. Asterisk can handle NATing, but unless you read up on exactly how to configure it for your specific case (if needed), it's likely to be less then clear initially.
