Just to confirm "Symmetric NAT" -
sipXecs sends a request to voip.ms from 10.8.158.121 port 5080;
firewall adds an entry to its NAT table and substitutes the external IP 
address
216.8.158.237 for 10.8.158.121 in the packets forwarded to voip.ms;
voip.ms responds to 216.8.158.237 port 5080;
firewall finds this entry in the NAT table and substitutes the internal 
IP address
10.8.158.121 for 216.8.158.237 in the packets returned to sipXecs.
sipXecs sends some form of "keep alive" packets to voip.ms to maintain the
NAT table entry.
Correct?

SIP trunking Public Port defaults to 5060 - should this be 5080?

Stricltly NAT - no "port forwarding" defined.
My firewall does not do "port forwarding" -
if an internal machine needs incoming access from the internet,
I define a single address route like 216.8.158.225/32 to 10.8.158.225
and add rules to the firewall defining what ports and protocols are allowed
over this route. To make this work, the target machine must have an
eth0 address of 10.8.158.225/24 and an IP alias of 216.8.158.225/32.
FreeBSD allows me to create IP aliases.
Linux (CentOS 5.2) requires me to create the alias thus:
eth0:0 216.8.158.225 netmask 255.255.255.255 ...
I was concerned that sipXecs would see this alias as a second IP address
and become confused because all the documentation says:
"thou shalt not use multiple IP addresses!".
