Hello Mark: Personally I do not recommend VOIP through a VPN. Other's might disagree, but I have my style. The inability of RTP packets not flowing through is to do strictly with how your VPN is structured. I know of people who implemented VOIP on a VPN.
Technically speaking, UDP can flow through a VPN. They are just data packets. Your IAX routing through another Asterisk would merely allow you to easily manage one port (4569) through which all your signaling and audio is passed through. It does increase the headache of managing another box though. However with a 2nd * you would not have to worry about forwarding or allowing a larger range of ports in your VPN and/or Firewall. My motto has always been to keep things simple. A VPN increases complexity and introduces over engineering (in my humble opinion). It definitely has benefits, but in an office of 10 or less people -- I see VOIP on VPN, adding more complexity to debug technical issues. Just my 2 cents. Cheers!
