I agree that it looks like a good idea to put an Asterisk server in each office. They will handle local calls within each office so you don't use any external bandwidth. It can also connect your phone lines. Then you need to connect the two Asterisk servers via your hosted server. I guess you could put another copy of Asterisk on that server, or just setup the routing tables to ensure that conections from one to the other go via the hosted server. Details depend on exactly how that "very special technology" is set up. If you use a VPN to communicate with your hosted server then I assume that Asterisk traffic will also use it. But if you don't already need to use a VPN, I'm not clear of the benefit of setting one up.
