Situation: Have two ISP links each with a static IP. Current router does not understand SIP, so ports 5060 and 10000-20000 are forwarded to Asterisk. On my v1.2 system Asterisk always acts as a B2BUA and everything is fine.

Moved to AstLinux v0.6.1 with Asterisk v1.4 running on a Soekris Net5501 and while calls to/from registered ITSP work, calls to ENUM destinations fail as the Asterisk attempts to route RTP from the phone to the ENUM destination. At least my firewall status page show the ATA sending RTP packets to the ENUM destination so I think this is what is happening. (I have been trying to figure out how to keep Asterisk in the path but the NAT and reinvite settings for outbound appear to have no effect in this case).

So. Looked at changing router to an embedded box running pfSense, but apparently the embedded version of pfSense does not support packages and it would require the siproxd package to be any better than my current machine.

Next option: Enable the Arno firewall in AstLinux and put on the phones into their own network that has to go through the AstLinux box. That should keep the dual-Wan router happy. It looks like this should work (EXT_IF set to current LAN, INT_IF set to new VoIP specific network, set FULL_ACCESS_HOSTS to allow management from the LAN, and some revised cabling and new Ethernet switches). This will be my fall back position.

(Sorry for the long winded introduction...)

However it would be cleaner if I replaced the current firewall/router with the AstLinux box. Has anyone done this with multiple WAN interfaces? What issues did you run into? Was the Arno firewall multiroute plug-in sufficient? Do you need to use the sip-voip plug-in?
