This is a common configuration. My asterisk box is also my router.
dsl -> eth1 -> linux <- eth0 <- home network
The linux box routes and firewalls.
In your case, you probably have another router and just want to multi-home your asterisk box. Is this correct? If so, just don't turn on routing, or you will have two routers with the same number of hops and you'll create a mess - probably.
That said, I'd install shorewall (www.shorewall.net) on the box to ease the complexity of configuring NetFilter, and firewall it to let in only those ports you need. Shorwall will consider the box itself as device 'fw' and will consider the other two interfaces as 'loc' and 'net'.
If you want my ruleset I'll share it with you. Write me offline.

Thanks for replies!
It occurred to me that I'll need to have 2 network cards in this * box. One on the LAN and the other the external public IP one.
Is there anything obvious I should watch out for with this config?
