I'm not really sure about IAX but your Asterisk server should be staying in the call signaling path.
Keep in mind that call signaling and audio path are separate things. Your server can stay in the signaling path while the audio path never leaves Unlimitel. A "reinvite" will normally renegotiate the audio so it travels directly between the two endpoints while the server stays in control of the signaling. AFAIK this is the default behavior but if you are not seeing the calls in your logs after they are bridged at Unlimitel then it may be just an option that needs to be tweaked to keep Asterisk in the signal path.
